This mural is located in the Stadshusfoajén (City Hall Foyer) of Stockholm City Hall (Stadshuset) and depicts a colorful and romanticized view of Stockholm's skyline, seen from across the Riddarfjärden bay.
Details:
A golden sailboat dominates the center, symbolizing movement, exploration, and perhaps civic pride.
Framing the scene are stylized green tree branches, suggesting it is viewed from a park-like setting, likely from Södermalm or Långholmen.
The buildings in the background include iconic landmarks like:
Riddarholmen Church with its tall spire
Stockholm's historic Old Town (Gamla Stan)
The painterly, almost mosaic-like texture and strong color contrasts are consistent with early 20th-century Swedish mural style, possibly influenced by National Romanticism or Art Nouveau.
This piece, like many throughout Stadshuset, expresses the cultural identity of Stockholm—merging nature, history, and civic life in a vibrant, idealized image.
