About the Work

A charming, originally hand-coloured steel engraving of Lake Aegeri – one of the most atmospheric subjects in the Canton of Zug. Published by Chr. Krüsi in Basel and engraved by C. Huber, the sheet combines fine engraving with an evocative alpine panorama. The colouring is remarkably fresh.

Provenance

Lake Ägeri in the canton of Zug, captured in the 19th century by the engraver C. Huber and published by Chr. Krüsi in Basel. An original hand-coloured steel engraving that captures the romantic mountain mood of Central Switzerland, in its slim original gilt frame with a fine mount, ready to hang, from a private collection in Zug.
