Siltavuorenkadun ja Välikadun kulmaus is a 1897 by Rudolf Åkerblom, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This drawing shows a simple wooden house with a sloped roof, sitting on a quiet street. A small fence runs along the front, and a gate leads to a path. The house has two small windows with diamond-shaped glass, and a chimney rises from the roof. In the background, a faint blue sky meets the horizon, while a sign on a gate reads *"Sauna Bad"* in Swedish. The artist used light pencil strokes to show texture in the wood and clouds. This style makes the scene look calm and everyday. If you like this kind of detailed drawing, look up cross-hatching next.
Rudolf Åkerblom (1849–1925) was an artist, born in Helsinki.
