Dominant colour
Merimiehenkatu 17 is a 1897 by Rudolf Åkerblom, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This drawing shows a simple wooden house with a slanted roof and a chimney. A bare tree stands in front, and a bench sits on the porch. Nearby, there’s an open wooden cart with two large boxes inside. The ground looks damp, and the sky above is pale with a few clouds. The artist used light pencil strokes to show shadows and texture, especially on the walls and cart. The house looks a bit worn, with a small window and a simple door. Want to see more work like this?
