The print has a refined, serene, and very typical feel for its time. Dimensions: 44 x 34 cm.

The work is in very good, well-preserved condition, with a harmonious patina of age. The colors are subtle, with a hand-colored sky and floral accents in the foreground. The print is framed in an original, gilt frame, bearing an old Viennese framer's label on the reverse, suggesting a previous high-quality presentation. A handwritten signature is visible in the lower right corner. However, the signature clearly indicates a printmaker from the German-Austrian region, presumably from the late 19th to early 20th century – a period when idealized motifs of antiquity were particularly popular. Stylistically, the print falls between academic historicism and the Neoclassical architectural approach typical of Vienna, Munich, or Berlin during this era. An elegant wall hanging for lovers of classic architecture, period interiors, or calm, sophisticated graphic design. A fine, timeless piece with style, substance, and a beautiful effect on the wall.
