The half-timbered building, originally constructed in 1572, sits along the Ill River and has long been one of the most photographed landmarks in Strasbourg.

This detailed scene captures the timber-framed architecture and lively canal setting, with warm autumn tones, historic buildings lining the riverbank, and figures gathered along the water’s edge. The composition evokes the charm of old-world Strasbourg and the romantic atmosphere of the Petite France quarter.

The print is executed on thick textured watercolor paper, giving the image depth and a painterly quality that closely resembles the original watercolor artwork from which it was reproduced. The title “Strasbourg – La Maison des Tanneurs” is handwritten in pencil beneath the image.

Presented in a brushed metal frame with wide white matting that highlights the architectural detail and rich color palette.

A classic European travel image that works beautifully in French country, traditional, vintage, or eclectic interiors, and pairs well with other European architectural prints or travel art.

Provenance: Acquired from the estate of a Pasadena art curator. See less
