David Richter vanhempi / den äldre / the Elder

This Finnish painter left behind one small self-portrait, Omakuva, painted in smooth, clear brushstrokes that feel honest and direct. Most of what we know is the work itself—not much else about his life survives. The image shows his face straight on, lit evenly so every detail reads clearly. If you like quiet, careful portraits without extra drama, tap Omakuva to take a closer look.
