Ingrid Linnea Ruin (b. 1881, d. 1956, Finnish painter)
Portrait young woman. Signed and dated I. Ruin. Oil on canvas. 34×41 cm.
After preliminary studies at The Finnish Art Society’s Drawing School in Helsingfors, from 1897–1901 the Finnish artist Ingrid Ruin attended The Art Academy in Copenhagen from 1901–1903. later she studied under Albert Edelfelt (1854–1905) and from 1905 to 1911 under Anders Zorn (1860–1920), for whom she served as an assistant. Ruin continued her work on study trips to Germany, France and Italy. Her style and choice of motifs are related to Zorn - the intense colours and voluptuous women in the Swedish nature are predominant in her production. During her lifetime she exhibited widely in Europe in Finland, Stockholm, Saint Petersburg, Copenhagen, Oslo, Berlin and Rome. In 2005 a retrospective exhibition of her work was shown at Riihimäki Artmuseum, just as she is represented in several museums in Finland.
