Fabianinkatu 7, piha is a 1897 by Rudolf Åkerblom, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This sketch shows a small yard with three simple wooden buildings. The largest is a two-story house with tall chimneys, surrounded by smaller sheds. A cart sits near the house, and a ladder leans against one of the sheds. The ground looks muddy, with scattered tools and logs. The artist used light pencil strokes to show shadows and texture, especially on the buildings. The sky is faint, letting the buildings stand out. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
Rudolf Åkerblom (1849–1925) was an artist, born in Helsinki.
