Finely painted in watercolour, this is likely a scaled down version of a work by one of the leading early 19th-century topographical artists, such as Samuel Prout (1783–1852), Clarkson Stanfield (1793–1867) or Richard Parkes Bonington (1802–1828). There is a very similar, although slightly different, composition in oil by Clarkson Stanfield.The town of Boppard in the Middle Rhine is dominated by the twin towers of St Severus Church. In the 19th century the Middle Rhine held great romantic appeal, its medieval buildings and hilltop castles serving as an unmistakable symbol for the European Middle Ages.On paper laid down on backing paper.All artworks come with a Certificate of Authenticity and in some cases an accompanying text or artist biography.
