Perunanostajia (Perunapula) is a work by Olga Forslund, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This drawing shows a group of people gathered around a horse-drawn cart. The horse is brown with a large wooden wheel, and the cart has a wooden box on it. The people are dressed in old-fashioned coats and hats, some with bags over their shoulders. One man on the cart is pointing or waving his arms while others below look up at him. The faces are simple but full of expression—some look curious, others worried. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and personality in the crowd. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
Olga Forslund left a small but vivid slice of early 20th-century life in her pencil drawings.
