Ylioppilaita vappukulkueessa is a work by Olga Forslund, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This sketch shows a busy crowd of people walking together. Men wear hats and coats, some holding canes or talking. A few women and a child are mixed in, dressed in simpler clothes. One man in the front holds a tall pole with a flag or banner. The scene feels lively but a little rough, with quick, uneven strokes. The artist used loose lines and flat colors to show movement without detail. The crowd looks like they’re part of a group event, maybe a parade or march. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
