Parisian Street Scene Arne Aspelin (Swedish, 1903–1974)

An evocative street scene by Swedish painter Arne Aspelin, capturing the muted poetry of Paris through atmosphere rather than detail. Painted in oil on panel, the composition draws the eye into a narrow city street where light slips between façades, softening architecture into tone, shadow, and movement.

Aspelin’s restrained palette and confident brushwork create a sense of lived-in elegance, a fleeting moment observed rather than staged. Figures are suggested, not defined, allowing the city itself to take center stage. The painting is housed in a substantial, gilt wooden frame that complements the warmth and depth of the work, enhancing its classic, continental character.

An intimate yet expressive piece, ideal for collectors drawn to European modernism, travel, and painterly restraint.
