More about this artwork

This engaging drawing by Alfred William Finch, an artist renowned for his contributions to the Finnish art scene and his involvement in the Neo-Impressionism movement, showcases a stunning example of figure study. Titled "Alastonharjoitelma, istuva nainen" (Nude Study, Seated Woman), the piece captures the serene and introspective posture of a seated woman viewed from behind.The elegance of the artwork lies in its simplicity and the mastery of line work Finch employs. The contours of the woman's back, the gentle twist of her torso, and the relaxed drape of her legs are rendered with a confident, minimalist stroke. This not only emphasizes the form but also the subtle interplay of light and shadow across the figure, suggesting a soft luminosity and texture of skin.Finch’s use of space and his choice to portray the subject from this unconventional angle invite viewers to appreciate the grace of human form, devoid of facial expression. The woman’s hair is styled up, drawing attention to the nape of her neck and shoulders, which adds a layer of vulnerability and softness to the composition.This drawing may be appreciated not only as a celebration of natural human beauty but also as a testament to Finch’s artistic skill and his ability to convey emotion and depth through a few expressive lines.

Alfred William Finch (1854-1930) was a Neo-Impressionist artist born to British parents in Brussels, Belgium. His works utilized the color palette and Pointillism technique, which were shared by other significant figures of the Neo-Impressionism movement, including Paul Signac, Camille Pissarro, and Georges Seurat. Finch was among the founding members of Les XX (Les Vingt), a group of twenty artists based in Brussels that challenged antiquated and conservative artistic traditions and academism. The group held annual art exhibitions, greatly influencing the development of Neo-Impressionism. In his later years, Alfred William Finch also produced ceramics and pottery, decorated with a fusion of his familiar Neo-Impressionism, Arts and Crafts, and Belgian Art Nouveau styles. His artworks primarily portray the atmospheric beauty of nature and the countryside along the Channel coast. Alfred William Finch spent the majority of his artistic career in Helsinki, where he passed away in 1930.
