In "Girls Pushing a Boat" (1925), Halonen immortalized youthful joy as girls playfully push their boat along the shore. This painting exudes energy and innocence that resonates with viewers even today. "The Kantele Player" (1892) portrays traditional Finnish music culture through an enchanting musician playing this string instrument against rustic surroundings. It serves as an ode to Finland's rich heritage.
