The Little Servant, Helene Schjerfbeck Tissue Paper

Helene Schjerfbeck (1862–1946) is a Finnish national icon. To a modern eye, the painting seems traditional but, first presented in Finland, it was deemed, according to Anna-Maria von Bonsdorff, “too modern, not polished enough, too French”. Unsurprisingly, the French liked it: it won a bronze medal in Paris and was bought by the Ateneum and has been a favourite with gallery-goers ever since. Anna-Maria von Bonsdorff says: “It is the subject that draws people because it is about hope – an unusually positive picture in modern art. Art is a wonderful gift for any occasion, whether it is for Christmas or Hanukah, a baby shower, a wedding gift, or a "thank you". Even for the person who has everything, a piece of artwork makes an amazing gift. It shows forethought, effort and a flair for gift giving. TRANSFER ART IMAGE TO ANY PRODUCT.
