"Gezicht op de ruïne van Burcht Rheinfels," a lithograph created between 1864 and 1909 by Cornelia Christina Johanna van Trigt-Hoevenaar, is a detailed depiction of the Rheinfels Castle ruins. The artwork showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail, capturing the crumbling walls and overgrown foliage with a delicate, almost romantic touch. This piece, held in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies van Trigt-Hoevenaar's mastery of lithography, capturing the melancholic beauty of the historic site and its gradual descent into nature.
