Roofs, Nurnberg
1928

An etching depicting a detailed scene of old European buildings with steep roofs and visible timber framing. The foreground shows a building with signs reading "Zigaretten" and "Tabak," suggesting a tobacco shop. In the background, a church spire rises above the rooftops. A flock of birds is seen flying on the right side of the image, adding a dynamic element to the otherwise still urban landscape. The artwork has a vintage feel, with intricate shading and textures that give a sense of depth and realism.
