Wilhelm von Wright höyläpenkin ääressä, piirustus "Mariebergin verstas" -maalausta varten is a work by Ferdinand von Wright, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This sketch shows a man sitting at a workbench, carefully shaping wood with a tool. He’s hunched over, wearing a loose coat and a cap, with a simple chair and a wall of windows behind him.
