Helsingin satama, Jätkäsaaren laituri

This painting shows a busy harbor with a mix of boats. In the foreground, a small red boat sits on dry land, surrounded by other weathered vessels. Behind it, a larger ship floats in the water, with a red brick building and a smokestack in the background. The sky is bright but has some clouds, and the brushstrokes are loose and quick. The artist focused on everyday life at the docks, with boats both in the water and resting on shore. The colors are simple but warm, especially the reds and browns.
