Uudenmaankatu 8 is a 1897 by Rudolf Åkerblom, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This drawing shows a simple wooden house with a sloped roof and two small chimneys. A ladder leans against one side, and a pile of wooden planks lies near the door. The house has small windows with curtains, and a tree stands close to the left corner. The artist used careful lines to show the texture of the wood and the rough ground. The sky is light with soft clouds, keeping the focus on the building. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
Rudolf Åkerblom (1849–1925) was an artist, born in Helsinki.
