Widolfa von Engeström-Ahrenberg

Widolfa von Engeström-Ahrenberg is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.

This painter copied an old master. In her time, artists studied earlier works closely, so Widolfa von Engeström-Ahrenberg made her own version of Rembrandt’s portrait of a young girl. The soft light on the face and the quiet clothes give a calm feeling. She worked in the 1800s, when copying was a way to learn and share skill. Look for the calm mood in Nuori tyttö, kopio Rembrandtin mukaan.
