Der Hagenmarkt mit der Catharinenkirche

Der Hagenmarkt mit der Catharinenkirche   is a beautiful watercolored etching on paper, realized at the mid-XIX century by the German landscapist artist  Johann Poppel , after Wilhelm Pätz .

This wonderful modern artwork representing a German urban and historical view has the title in capital letters engraved on the lower margin at the center, " Der Hagenmarkt mit der Catharinenkirche zu Braunschweig ", and the inscriptions on plate report the authors and the publishing house on the lower margin: " W. Pätz del. / Druck u. Verlag von G.G. Lange in Durmstadt / in Stahl gestochen von J. Poppel ".

In excellent conditions, except for a usual yellowing of the paper on the lower margin, this original print is watercolored with harmonic colors and a sure touch, including a cream-colored cardboard passepartout, cm 30 x 36.
