Helene Schjerfbeck<br />

b. Helsinki 1862, d. 1946<br />

A portrait <strong>of</strong> a <strong>you</strong>ng woman in a blue dress. Signed H. S.<br />

and dedicated to: "Á Ulla Stenman". Charcoal and washed<br />

watercolour on paper. Visible size 44 x 35 cm.<br />

Provenance: Art dealer Stenman's collection.<br />

The portrait representing a <strong>you</strong>ng woman in a blue dress with white<br />

collar has been painted on yellowed lithography paper. Behind the<br />

sheet there is seen a part <strong>of</strong> Helene Schjerfbeck's lithograph "At the<br />

Hearth", which was printed in 1938-39 (see Helene Schjerfbeck,<br />

The Finnish National Gallery Atheneum, 1992, p. 260, no. 424).<br />

Therefore this pastel could not be executed until 1938.<br />

Ulla (Putte) Stenman (later Ulla Fock) may refer to Gösta Stenman's<br />

daughter. However, in another <strong>of</strong> Schjerfbeck's portrait <strong>of</strong> Ulla Fock<br />

(1943) she looks quite different (see image Helene Schjerfbeck, The<br />

Finnish National Gallery Ateneum, 1992, p. 96, nr 476).<br />

The stylized portrait with charcoal and washed watercolour manner<br />

is fairly typical for Helene Schjerfbeck.<br />
