More about this artwork

Magnus Enckell's sketch "Rouva Anni Lagerborg, luonnos" offers a glimpse into the artist’s delicate handling of portraiture through the media of pencil drawing. Created in 1912, this piece portrays Mrs. Anni Lagerborg, captured with an air of gentle elegance and refined grace.The drawing is characterized by soft, flowing lines that outline the figure of Mrs. Lagerborg in a side profile. She is adorned in what appears to be an Edwardian outfit, complete with a wide-brimmed hat elegantly tilted, emphasizing the fashions of the early 20th century. Her pose and the lightness of the strokes lend a transient, almost ethereal quality to the image, as if she were caught in a brief, thoughtful moment.Enckell’s use of minimal detail focuses the viewer's attention on the subject's contemplative expression and poise. The sketch does not delve into deep detail but instead suggests the textures of her attire and the slight smile playing about her lips through mere hints of shading and line work. This restraint showcases Enckell’s skill in using simplicity to convey complex human emotions and dignity.This piece is not only a testament to Enckell's mastery of the human form and portraiture but also serves as an intimate portrayal of a woman in her societal role during that era.

Magnus Enckell (1870-1925) was a Finnish painter and graphic artist who was born in Helsinki. He studied at the Ateneum School of Art and later at the Académie Julian in Paris. Enckell was greatly influenced by the Symbolist and Art Nouveau movements, and his work often featured moody and dreamlike landscapes and portraits. He was one of the leading figures of Finnish art in the early 20th century, and his work helped to shape the development of modernist art in Finland. He passed away in 1925 at the age of 55, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire artists to this day.
