Shadow on the Wall, Helene Schjerfbeck, Notebook

Shadow on the Wall II (Green Bench). Helena Sofia (Helene) Schjerfbeck was a Finnish painter. Her work starts with a dazzlingly skilled, somewhat melancholic version of late-19th-century academic realism…it ends with distilled, nearly abstract images in which pure paint and cryptic description are held in perfect balance. Schjerbeck's birthday, July 10, is Finland's national day for the painted arts.
