Nachtelijke serenade 1822

"Nachtelijke serenade" is an etching by Swiss artist Johann Georg Schinz, completed in 1822. The print depicts a nocturnal scene featuring a group of musicians serenading a figure standing under a tree. The musicians are dressed in traditional garb and play various instruments. The background shows a ruined building with an arched structure, evoking a sense of history and melancholy. Schinz's meticulous attention to detail, the subtle play of light and shadow, and the romantic subject matter are hallmarks of his artistic style.
