Title
Kronborg
Artist
Luigi Kasimir
Physical Description
Horizontal format etching of a Kronborg city square settled on the edge of a body of water. In the foreground are the roofs and upper levels of buildings, suggesting that the view is looking down on the square from a high-up window. The buildings are drawn with great detail, all the carvings in the stone of the foreground are pronounced, and the buildings further in the distance have their detailed work and brick patterns clearly visible. In the small area of the street square is a group of figures holding long objects, possibly for the purpose of playing a game of some sort. The sky above the buildings and sea is dark, grey and cloudy, whose color is reflected on the water. In the far distance another hilly shoreline is visible.
