This painting shows a quiet waterfront scene with a rocky shore and a small harbor. A tree with bare branches stands on the left side, while a few boats float on calm water. In the distance, a cluster of buildings and hills stretches along the coastline under a pale sky. The signature reads *Ferdinand Bergenheim*, and the text at the bottom names the place as Helsinki’s Suomenlinna fortress. The brushwork is loose, with soft edges blending land and water. Look up Bergenheim, Ferdinand next to see more of his work.
