Houten gevel van een woning in de Saucierstraat in Antwerpen 1868

This etching by Jean Théodore Joseph Linnig, created in 1868, is a detailed depiction of a building in Antwerp. The artwork showcases the intricate wooden facade of the house, emphasizing the architectural details of the period. The artist uses subtle shading and meticulous line work to capture the texture of the wood and the play of light and shadow. The presence of chickens in the foreground adds a touch of realism and perhaps a hint of the building's use as a residence or a business with livestock. This architectural etching provides a glimpse into the cityscape of 19th-century Antwerp and the beauty of its historic structures.
