Kristianinkatu 14, Fabianinkatu 5 is a 1897 by Rudolf Åkerblom, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This sketch shows three simple wooden buildings with slanted roofs, stacked close together. The walls are plain, with small windows and doors. A ladder leans against the left side, and some old tools or crates sit outside the middle building. The ground looks muddy, and the sky above is light with a few clouds. The artist used thin lines to build up shadows and textures, especially on the roofs and walls. It’s like they drew with careful, steady strokes to show every plank and tool. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines like this.
Rudolf Åkerblom (1849–1925) was an artist, born in Helsinki.
