This image captures a decorative niche and light pattern on a brick wall within Stockholm City Hall (Stadshuset) — most likely from the Blue Hall (Blå Hallen) or one of the inner courtyards.

Notable features:
The brick masonry is characteristic of the City Hall’s National Romantic style.

The small balcony-like architectural detail is a decorative feature seen high on the walls of the Blue Hall, often holding urns or sculptural finials.

The geometric cutout window below the ledge brings in soft, patterned light—highlighting the artistic attention to light and shadow in the building’s design.

This moment of sunlight also showcases Ragnar Östberg’s architectural philosophy: blending Nordic craftsmanship, historical symbolism, and playful modernism.
