San Gimignano
1936

This is an etching depicting a panoramic view of the hilltop town of San Gimignano in Italy. The artwork captures the essence of the town's medieval architecture, with its stone buildings and prominent towers rising above the surrounding landscape. In the foreground, there are leafless trees and shrubs, suggesting a view from a nearby hillside or garden. The etching is detailed, with fine lines creating textures and shadows, conveying a sense of depth and the rustic charm of the Tuscan countryside. The artist's signature and the title "San Gimignano" are visible at the bottom of the image.
