"Gezicht op Kassel" (View of Kassel), a small-scale engraving by an anonymous artist, provides a glimpse into the cityscape of Kassel in the late 18th century. The artwork, estimated to date between 1770 and 1818, depicts the town from a distance, with a prominent church tower standing tall against the backdrop of rolling hills. The foreground features a cluster of trees and grazing cattle, suggesting a peaceful rural setting surrounding the urban center. The delicate lines and detailed rendering of the architecture and landscape, typical of 18th-century engraving techniques, contribute to the artwork's charming and historic appeal.
