#42 - Tinted ink townscape somewhat haphazardly mounted to a preprinted frame. The work shows multiple buildings of the town center (with church) in the background. In the foreground is a small stream with men fishing and others standing nearby. In light pencil on the frame there appears to be the name "v. Kregel." The reverse side has various sketchings and the name Rosmasler. (28cm x 20cm)
