Albertinkatu 22
1897
From the collection of Helsinki City Museum
Albertinkatu 22 is a 1897 by Rudolf Åkerblom, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This drawing shows two simple wooden houses by a waterfront. One has a ladder leaning against it, and the other has a small porch with a rocking chair. Trees stand nearby, and the sky is a soft blue with light clouds. The artist used thin lines to sketch details like the planks and branches. The water looks calm, and the ground is a mix of dirt and grass. Next, check out the artist’s technique of cross-hatching to see how it creates texture.
Rudolf Åkerblom (1849–1925) was an artist, born in Helsinki.
