The drawing shows Helsinki Cathedral in Senate Square. It's a specific scene from August 1949. The artist likely visited the square to sketch this. The drawing gives us a glimpse of Helsinki's past. We see the cathedral and the square as they looked over 70 years ago. This provides a unique view of the city's history. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: cross-hatching.
