About the Work
This charming view shows Vevey at its finest — seen from the water with sailing boats, fishermen and a farmer with his ox in the foreground, the town nestled at the foot of the vineyards behind. Engraved by J. Riegel after a drawing by Rohbock, it belongs to the classic Swiss topographical prints of the mid-19th century. The original hand-colouring is beautifully preserved, making this an evocative piece of Lake Geneva romanticism.
Collector Interest
Lake Geneva and Vevey are internationally beloved destinations — the town of Charlie Chaplin, Nestlé and the Riviera Vaudoise. Collectors in the US, Japan and China prize authentic hand-coloured 19th-century Swiss views as elegant, affordable wall art with genuine provenance and a recognisable, aspirational location.
Provenance
Keine Sammler-Notiz vorhanden. Aus den Bildern erschlossen: signierter, altkolorierter Stahlstich von J. Riegel nach Rohbock, der Vevey am Genfersee vom Wasser aus zeigt — eine der beliebtesten Vedutenansichten der Westschweiz. Sauber gerahmt in schmalem Goldrahmen mit dekorativem Doppel-Passepartout, ideal als authentisches Schweizer Reiseerinnerungsstück.
