“Ompelijatar (Työläisnainen)” (The Seamstress) by Helene Schjerfbeck (Finnish) - Oil on canvas / 1905 - Ateneumin taidemuseo, Kansallisgalleria (Helsinki, Finland) #WomenInArt #WomensArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists #Ateneum #FinnishArt #artText #art #HeleneSchjerfbeck #Schjerfbeck #WomenPaintingWomen
A ghostly-pale woman sits in left profile in a wooden rocking chair, her body angled slightly forward. Her dark hair is cut into a smooth bob, and her eyes are lowered, giving the sense of inward focus rather than display. She wears a high-necked black dress, so her pale hands loosely clasped at her lap become a focus point. The chair’s reddish-brown rails and runners draw a simple diagonal across the canvas, while the plain background is a flat, green-grey wall and floorboard line with no distracting detail. Everything is hushed like softened edges, muted color, and a stillness that reads as rest, fatigue, or private thought. Finnish artist Helene Schjerfbeck’s title of “seamstress, working woman” frames this sitter through a labor lens, but the painting refuses the usual markers of “industry.” Instead of needle and cloth, we are given posture with her hands folded, shoulders rounded, breath held, and time suspended between tasks. The rocking chair suggests a rhythm of repetitive work and domestic life, but here it becomes a cradle for recovery, a place where a worker can exist without being watched or assessed. Paint is handled with restraint, compressing the figure into a near-silhouette so that dignity lives in the smallest signals like the clean line of her nose, the soft pressure of fingers, and her calm, closed eyes. In 1905, Schjerfbeck was shaping the pared-down modernism that would become her signature. After ill health forced her to leave teaching, she was living in Hyvinkää with her mother and painting portraits of schoolgirls, neighbors, and women workers … subjects often overlooked in official portraiture. Here, “working-class” is not a stereotype but an interior state as the psychological cost of constant usefulness or the right to quiet. Today, the painting can be seen as both compassionate and radical as it asks us to honor labor by honoring the person who labors, granting her privacy, complexity, and a moment that belongs entirely to herself.

“Mustataustainen omakuva” (Self-Portrait, Black Background) by Helene Schjerfbeck (Finnish) - Oil on canvas / 1915 - Ateneum Art Museum (Helsinki, Finland) #WomenInArt #art #artText #HeleneSchjerfbeck #Schjerfbeck #SelfPortrait #FinnishArt #WomensArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists #AteneumArtMuseum
A bust-length view of a ghostly-pale woman emerges from a nearly solid black ground. Her face is turned slightly to one side, large gray-green eyes lifted just above ours with a searching gaze. Warm brown hair is pulled back tightly, with one loose curl. A bright pink flush sits on her cheeks and small, closed mouth, giving a sense of vulnerability and quiet resolve. She wears a pale, high-necked blouse that dissolves into thin, sketchy strokes, suggesting shoulders and torso without firm outline. At her chest hangs a round green pendant on a delicate gold chain, the color echoing the cool tones of her eyes. In the lower left, a bright red paint pot and upright brushes signal her tools and identity as an artist. Across the top, the block capitals HELENE and SCHJERFBECK are rubbed and partly erased, so that her own name hovers like a fading inscription over the dark surface. Painted in her early 1950s, as she lived a relatively secluded life in Finland, this self-portrait marks Schjerfbeck’s shift toward a spare, modernist language. Commissioned by the Finnish Art Society for its official self-portrait collection (where she was the first and only woman artist represented), it quietly insists that a modern Finnish woman painter belongs in a lineage long dominated by men. The black background and mask-like simplification of the face may hint at illness, aging, and the passing of time, while the sharp red of the paint pot likely affirms her continuing creative force. The faint, scraped letters of her name at the top suggest both assertion and self-effacement as she writes herself into art history even as she acknowledges how easily women’s contributions can be rubbed away. In the Ateneum’s Hallonblad Collection, the painting stands as a landmark of Nordic modernism and a powerful meditation on artistic persistence, mortality, and how we choose to be seen.
