Stadspoort van Tanger 1841 - 1842

"Stadspoort van Tanger" is a lithograph created by Paulus Lauters between 1841 and 1842. The artwork depicts a detailed view of a gateway in Tangier, Morocco. Lauters, known for his depictions of architectural scenes, meticulously captures the stonework and arches of the gate, emphasizing the architectural details and highlighting the historical significance of the structure. The presence of a single figure in the foreground adds a sense of scale and emphasizes the grandeur of the structure. The lithograph is a fine example of Lauters's interest in capturing the beauty of international architecture and the influence of Orientalism on 19th-century European art.
