Pohjoisranta 8 is a 1897 by Rudolf Åkerblom, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This sketch shows two small wooden buildings by a shoreline. The larger one has a grass roof, two windows with curtains, and a door with a white frame. A ladder leans against the wall, and a tree grows right behind the roof. Next to it is a smaller shed with a dark door. A boat rests upside down on the sand in the foreground. The artist used soft pencil strokes to show light and shadow. The grass roof and tree suggest this might be a rural or coastal scene. Look up Åkerblom, Rudolf next to see more of his work.
Rudolf Åkerblom (1849–1925) was an artist, born in Helsinki.
