About this motif
Rheinstein Castle stands on a steep rocky outcrop high above the Rhine between Bingen and Trechtingshausen. With battlements, towers and a castle garden, it is a model example of 19th-century Rhine Romanticism.
In this large etching Scholz shows the castle from the hillside: it sits on its rock above green slopes, and on the right the valley opens out with the broad river. Image about 20 x 26 cm on a 32 x 42 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
