Katukuva Semurista is a 1919 unspecified by Yrjö Ollila, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a cluster of small, sloped-roof houses packed together on a hillside. The buildings are mostly white and beige, with some brown and red accents on the roofs and walls. A narrow street winds between them, and the sky above is light blue with a few fluffy clouds. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on the roofs and hills, giving the scene a rough, almost handmade feel. The colors are simple but warm, with earthy tones dominating. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
