Munkkisaarenkatu 6 is a 1897 by Rudolf Åkerblom, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This drawing shows a simple wooden house by the water. The building has two windows with white frames, a small porch with a lantern, and a chimney on the roof. A wooden fence runs along the right side, and the ground looks wet, like it’s near a shore. The artist signed it with initials and added the address in Swedish. The sky is light blue with a few clouds, and the whole scene feels quiet and still. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
