14th Century Skyscraper
1929

Vertical etching depicting a street view looking up at a tall, narrow building with Gothic architectural features, surrounded by other buildings. The perspective is from the ground level, creating a sense of height and grandeur. Small figures can be seen at the bottom, suggesting a bustling city atmosphere. The artwork is monochromatic and has a rough, sketch-like quality, with the artist's signature at the bottom right corner. The paper shows signs of age with slightly frayed edges and discoloration.
