Engel's market square landscape

Market square scene. In the foreground, townspeople and horse-drawn carriages, in the background, Ulrika Eleonora's Church, the main guardhouse and the town hall.

Carl Ludvig Engel's market square landscape from 1816. At the time the landscape was painted, Helsinki was still such a small city that most of the city's residents knew each other by appearance.
