At the Ateneum Museum, the first of these self portraits were on exhibit. Helen Schjerfbeck, 1862-1946, is an important Finnish painter. She often painted women and children, as well as thirty six self portraits.

Note: the Finnish language uses the pronoun "hän" to refer to either male or female. In this automatic translation, the pronoun he is used, which is a confusing detail. The Ateneum Museum has a large selection of her work. http://www.ateneum.fi/en/helene-schjerfbeck
