The pastel rendering of Comte Deheaulme de Vallombreuse's studio transports us back to 1888 Paris, capturing its artistic spirit in delicate hues. Gallen-Kallela also turns his gaze inward with introspective portraits such as "Portrait of Artists Mother, " revealing both tenderness and strength within familial bonds. And in his self-portrait from 1920, we catch a glimpse into the soul behind these mesmerizing creations. Nature becomes alive under Gallen-Kallela's brush; whether it is through vibrant sunsets over serene lakes or capturing fleeting moments like that between a young boy and a crow in "Boy with a Crow.
