Silakkamarkkinat is a work by Toivo Santeri Salokivi, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This sketch shows a rocky beach with a few small boats. The water is calm, and the rocks look rough. A couple of people sit near the boats, but their faces are blurry. The artist used quick, loose lines to draw the scene. It feels like they were sketching fast, maybe outside. Next, check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
A Finnish draftsman who left no dates behind, Salokivi made the 1895 Helsinki herring market his own with quick, rhythmic ink lines in *Silakkamarkkinat*—crowds, stalls and winter coats captured in one sheet.
