Cornelia Christina Johanna van Trigt-Hoevenaar's etching "Ruïne van San Karin op Visby" (1864-1909) depicts the ruins of the San Karin church on the island of Visby, Sweden. The artist captures the crumbling stone arches and walls, with light filtering through the openings, creating a sense of both decay and beauty. The composition, dominated by vertical lines, emphasizes the grandeur of the once-majestic structure. This work showcases van Trigt-Hoevenaar's skill in depicting architectural details and the play of light and shadow. The etching is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
