Helene Schjerfbeck's early paintings were influenced by French realism and impressionism. 


Helene Schjerfbeck (Finnish, 1852-1946) The Convalescent 1888

She studied with Léon Bonnat at the Académie Colarossi and painted in Brittany and then went to St. Ives in Cornwall. The newly formed colony in Cornwall welcomed visiting artists from Sweden, Russia, and France, and they found locals in town who were willing to pose, including the child who posed for "The Convalescent." 
"As Helene Schjerfbeck could not speak English very well, she often worked alongside Marianne Stokes, and a child that they painted together a number of times was so naughty at school that the teacher was only too glad when she sat for the artists!" (Source)
