Sörnäisten satama is a work by Victor Westerholm, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This painting shows a quiet harbor scene with two ships docked near a small wooden building. The water is calm, and the shoreline has bare trees and patches of grass. In the foreground, branches lean over the water, while the background fades into a soft, misty horizon. The artist uses loose, sketchy brushstrokes to suggest light and shadow, making the scene feel natural and slightly dreamy. The ships and building are simple but detailed enough to stand out against the softer sky. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
Victor Axel Westerholm (4 January 1860 Turku – 19 November 1919 Turku) was a Finnish landscape painter, especially known for founding the Önningeby artists' colony.
