Gezicht op een oude stadswal 1848 - 1909

"Gezicht op een oude stadswal" (View of an Old City Wall), created between 1848 and 1909, is a delicate etching by Belgian artist Armand Collard (1838-1910). The artwork depicts a tranquil scene of a village, likely in Belgium, with a church and its tall tower dominating the landscape. The muted tones and soft lines of the etching contribute to the serene atmosphere, characteristic of Collard's style. The etching's small size and intimate perspective enhance the feeling of quiet contemplation, making it a charming example of 19th-century Belgian art.
