The exhibition presents five works from the Nordea Art Foundation’s collections by Helene Schjerfbeck (1862–1946).
The works span nearly the entire artistic career of Helene Schjerfbeck, offering glimpses into its different phases. The spiritualized portrait Silence (1907) comes to the exhibition from the Helene Schjerfbeck exhibition held at The Met in New York.

Schjerfbeck is regarded as one of the most esteemed figures in Finnish art and a pioneer of modernism.
