The Seamstress, Half-Length Portrait (The Working Woman), Helene Schjerfbeck, 1927, Finnish National Gallery

The art dealer Gösta Stenman had first met Helene Schjerfbeck in 1913. He was to act as her advisor, arrange exhibitions for her and support her financially by purchasing her works. Once when she lacked a model, he proposed that she should paint a new version of her 1905 Seamstress, which he considered her finest work to date. This 1927 version of The Seamstress is a half-length portrait, as if a close-up of the original, but simpler and more stylized in approach. The outlines are brought out more, using thin black paint, and this second version is less soft than the first. Schjerfbeck often painted copies of printed pictures. She found such work relaxing, but on the other hand felt it was strange to return to the techniques in her youth. Stenman was pleased with this second Seamstress and commissioned more new versions, including new renderings of The Convalescent, Shadow on the Wall and many other youthful works.
