Der Wollmarkt mit der Andreaskirche

Der Wollmarkt mit der Andreaskirche   is a beautiful watercolored lithograph on paper, realized at the mid-XIX century by the German landscapist artist  Carl Ludwig Frommel (Birkenfeld, 1789 - Ispringen, 1863), after Friedrich Barthel (1775 - 1846).

This wonderful modern artwork, representing a German urban view, has the title in capital letters engraved on the lower margin at the center, " Der Wollmarkt mit der Andreaskirche zu Braunschweig bei der Brucke der Neustadtmuhle aus geschen ", and the inscriptions on plate report the authors on the lower margin: " F. Barthel del. / Druck u. Verlag von G.G. Lange in Durmstadt / Frommel direx. ".

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