Uudenmaankatu 6, piha is a 1897 by Rudolf Åkerblom, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This drawing shows three simple wooden buildings in a dirt yard. The first is a small house with a chimney and two windows, one with curtains. Next to it is a long shed with closed doors and a ladder leaning against the side. The third building looks like a mix of both, with a ladder too. The ground is uneven, with patches of grass and a few scattered tools. The artist used thin, precise lines to sketch the buildings and details like the ladders and window frames. The colors are muted, mostly browns and grays, with a pale sky in the background. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
Rudolf Åkerblom (1849–1925) was an artist, born in Helsinki.
