From the collection of Helsinki City Museum
Annankatu 15 is a work by Magnus von Wright, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This sketch shows a quiet winter scene with two small buildings under snow. One has a slanted roof, the other a flat one with a tiny overhang. Bare trees lean against the houses, their branches dusted white. The ground is covered in snow, and the whole scene is drawn in soft, muted colors with quick, sketchy lines. The handwriting at the bottom says it’s a copy of something—maybe an older drawing—by Magnus von Wright. The light touch and simple shapes make it feel like a quick study rather than a finished work. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build up tones with lines.
Magnus von Wright (13 June 1805 – 5 July 1868) was a Finnish painter and educator. In addition to bird illustrations, he was also known for his landscapes. He was one of the four sibling von Wright artists.
