Senaattori Sackleenin talo is a work by Magnus von Wright, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This painting depicts a serene winter scene, with a large house at its center. The house features a brown exterior and a white roof, accompanied by a chimney emitting smoke. In the foreground, a wooden fence and a pile of logs are visible, while a road runs along the right side of the image. The background is characterized by a light pink sky, with a few birds flying overhead. The artist's use of muted colors and gentle brushstrokes creates a sense of calmness, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful winter landscape.
