An original Swedish oil painting on canvas by Sven (Svän) Fritiof Teodor Grandin (1906–1982), titled City Motif with People. Signed lower right in red, the composition depicts figures in hats within an urban environment — a square or city street framed by architectural elements. Executed with strong, simplified brushstrokes and marked colour fields in green, blue, ochre, and muted red, the work conveys a modernist and atmospheric expression. The placement of figures suggests movement and rhythm, while the dense vertical structure evokes continental city scenes, possibly Paris‑inspired. Presented vintage & framed, the painting remains in good condition with age‑appropriate wear.

Artist & Provenance
Sven Grandin, born in Borås, Sweden, was recognised for his modernist cityscapes and figurative works. His compositions often merge Nordic modernism with continental influences, marked by bold brushwork and simplified colour fields. City Motif with People exemplifies his ability to capture atmosphere and urban rhythm, situating his artistry within mid‑20th‑century Scandinavian modernism with international resonance.
