Johan Elis Kortman is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Helsinki City Museum.

Johan Elis Kortman made ink-on-paper views of Helsinki villas in the late 1800s. His drawing Hellsténin huvila, Itäinen Kaivopuisto 9 shows a white wooden house turned slightly away from the viewer, roofline catching light. The spare lines and muted tones let the building speak for itself. Tap the drawing to see how the artist framed everyday streets into quiet, architectural portraits.
