About this motif
At over five metres tall, the Bremen Roland is one of the largest free-standing statues of the German Middle Ages. His armour and sword are finely worked.
In this upright composition Sommer brings the Roland right to the front: the figure stands behind its railings, with gabled houses and small figures on the market square in the background. Printed from the copper plate, picture area around eight by eleven centimetres, offered as a black print, colour-washed or with a frame.
