Kaisaniemi
From the collection of Helsinki City Museum
Kaisaniemi is a work by Berndt Erik Lagerstam, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This painting shows a quiet pond with two swans gliding on calm water. Behind them, a white building with a red dome sits among dark trees. The sky is soft blue, and the whole scene reflects in the water like a mirror. The artist used loose, sketchy strokes to keep it feeling natural—not too polished. The swans and dome stand out against the darker greens and blues. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
This artist created a single drawing titled *Kaisaniemi*, likely made in the late 19th century when Finland was part of the Russian Empire.
