About this motif
St. Goar lies on the left bank of the Rhine opposite St. Goarshausen, just a few kilometres from the Loreley. Above the town rises the ruin of Rheinfels, once one of the largest castle complexes on the Rhine.
Scholz's etching "St. Goar with the Ruin of Rheinfels" shows the extensive castle ruin on the slope to the right, the little town on the bank below and, on the left, the Rhine winding through the wooded hills. Image about 20 x 26 cm on a 32 x 42 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
