DescriptionDescription: In this painting, Gustaf Theodor Wallén seems to be viewing the world with a sceptical gaze. This is typical of self-portraits in which the artist has used a mirror to see his or her own reflection. Wallén was born in Stockholm, but became fascinated early on with Dalarna and eventually settled in Leksand. He worked in several techniques – painting, printmaking and sculpture. His subjects included both landscapes and portraits, but also decorative small-scale sculpture.
