Eero Erik Nikolai Järnefelt (1863 - 1937)

Eero Järnefelt was born in Viipuri, Finland.
His father Alexander Järnefelt was an officer in the Russian
army and his mother was Elisabeth Clodt von Jürgensburg. He
studied at the St. Petersburg art academy between 1883 and 1885,
the same one Albert Edelfelt had studied at.

Sparre. He was inspired by the plein-air and naturalistic paintings
by Jules Bastien-Lepage.
