Aunapuu, Hermann (1915 – 1998). Portrait of the Wife. (1958)

Hermann Aunapuu’s masterpiece “Portrait of the Wife” (1958) is an extraordinary oil on canvas painting that measures 65.3 x 54. Aunapuu’s signature can be found on the lower right as “Aunapuu 58”, and on the reverse. This evocative portrait is currently available for viewing at Tallinn, Mustamäe tee 4 room 103. Herman Aunapuu’s artistic journey was marked by his education at “Pallas” Higher Art Courses and Tartu Art Institute, and a significant incident in 1945 when he was arrested and sent to a prison camp along with Varmo Pirk. The portrait, rich in texture and emotion, represents Aunapuu’s unique style and artistic prowess.
