Probably executed in the period between GAN's return from Paris (May 1925) and move to Stockholm (beginning of 1931). During this time GAN was living in Lund but took occassional trips to Malmö. Possibly the sketch depicts the Royal Hussar Barracks at Regementsgatan 22, on Väster in Malmö, which was built in 1898 and torn down in 1960.
