In 2012, 150 years will have passed from the birth of an artist that ranks among Finland's national treasures. Helene Schjerfbeck boldly moved towards a modern artistic language during her career, and this issue reminds us of the importance of forging one’s own path. The painting chosen for the coin’s motive is one of a long series of self-portraits in which the artist depicts her aging self with honesty and emotion.
