Iso Roobertinkatu 24 is a 1897 by Rudolf Åkerblom, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This drawing shows three simple wooden buildings on a muddy slope. The smallest has a ladder leaning against it and a tiny window with a yellow frame. The largest building has a slanted roof and a door propped open, with a wooden wheel and some boxes outside. The artist used thin, precise lines to sketch every plank and crack in the wood. The sky is just a pale wash, letting the buildings stand out. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching.
Rudolf Åkerblom (1849–1925) was an artist, born in Helsinki.
