Tove Jansson painting a fresco in the old City Hall restaurant Kaupunginkellari

A large fresco with a slim woman standing in front of it, painting it. A male assistant is standing nearby, leaning his foot on a large paint can.
When a new restaurant, Kaupunginkellari, was built in the City Hall in 1947, Tove Jansson was commissioned to paint the fresco Party in the Countryside there. The space disappeared during a subsequent renovation of the City Hall, and the fresco has been moved elsewhere.
