Elämäpiirroksen

Elämäpiirroksen is a Finnish term that translates to "biographical sketch" or "life drawing" in English. It refers to a concise and often informal account of a person's life, highlighting key events, achievements, and personal characteristics. Unlike a full biography, an elämäpiirroksen is typically shorter and may focus on specific aspects of an individual's existence rather than a comprehensive chronological narrative.

These sketches are frequently used in various contexts. They might appear in newspaper articles, commemorative publications, or even as introductions to a person's work or contributions. The purpose is usually to provide a general understanding of who the person is, their background, and what they are known for, without delving into extensive detail. The tone can vary depending on the purpose, but it generally aims to be informative and accessible to a broad audience. It's a way to quickly introduce or summarize a life.
