Jomalan kirkko Ahvenanmaalla is a work by Olga Forslund, depicting Church Building, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This drawing shows a small church with a simple tower and a sloped roof. The walls have a textured look, like tiny dots and lines covering them. A wooden door stands in the center, with a round window above it that has a starburst design inside. To the left, a narrow staircase leads up to a small window in the tower. The church sits in a quiet landscape with green grass and trees around it. The artist used short, quick marks to fill in the walls, giving them a rough, almost patchy feel. If you like this style, look up stippling to see how artists create texture with dots.
Olga Forslund left a small but vivid slice of early 20th-century life in her pencil drawings.
