About this motif
The Neue Wache is now the Federal Republic's central memorial; inside stands a Pietà after Käthe Kollwitz. The building is one of Schinkel's best-known designs.
Tritt's copper etching (KVCF-WT 28) shows the portico of the memorial on the right, with a statue and many people in front and buildings of Unter den Linden on the left. Image about 15 x 22 cm, a hand-printed sheet finished in watercolour.
