Gezicht op Plauschen Grund bij de mijnen 1779

This etching, created by Carl Gottfried Nestler in 1779, captures a panoramic view of Plauschen Grund, a valley in Germany. The detailed depiction showcases the lush greenery of the valley and the nearby hills, with a small structure at the valley's bottom, hinting at a possible mining operation in the area. This work, a fine example of 18th-century landscape etching, offers a glimpse into the natural beauty of a region near the start of the Industrial Revolution. The small dimensions, 190mm x 248mm, emphasize the detail-oriented nature of Nestler's style.
