Composer Jean Sibelius. fi:Daniel Nyblin (1856–1923) - What We Hear in Music, Anne S. Faulkner, Victor Talking Machine Co., 1913. The portrait of composer Jean Sibelius by Daniel Nyblin (1856–1923) is a classic black-and-white photograph of the Finnish composer, which was widely reproduced in the early 20th century, including in What We Hear in Music by Anne S. Faulkner (published by the Victor Talking Machine Co. in 1913). The portrait shows Jean Sibelius, one of Finland's most famous composers, seated or standing in a formal pose. He is dressed in a dark, elegant suit typical of the time, with a high-collared shirt and tie. Sibelius, known for his intense and serious demeanor, is captured with a stern or thoughtful expression, reflecting his deep, contemplative nature. His facial features—strong jawline, neatly combed hair, and thick mustache—are sharply defined in the photograph, emphasizing his intellectual and artistic persona.
