Kaivopuiston tuulimylly is a 1897 by Rudolf Åkerblom, depicting Windmill, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This drawing shows a tall wooden windmill with four long blades, standing next to a small red house. The house has a ladder leaning against it and a few small windows. The sky is light blue with soft clouds, and the ground looks dry with some bushes and a barrel nearby. The windmill’s blades are made of wood with small square openings, and the whole scene looks simple but detailed. The artist focused on everyday life, not fancy details. Next, look up windmill to see how they’ve been used for centuries.
Rudolf Åkerblom (1849–1925) was an artist, born in Helsinki.
