About the Work
This view of Rapperswil captures the city in its romantic heyday as a beloved destination along the Swiss lakeshore. The preserved gold frame by renowned Zurich framer Alfred Huber attests to its elevated presentation since its creation. The vibrant hand-coloring with deep blue lake and warm rooftops makes this piece an immediate eye-catcher for any collection of Swiss topographical art.
Provenance
