About this motif
There is almost always something going on at the foot of the cathedral: market days, festivals and, in Advent, the Christmas markets draw people from the whole region.
Peters shows Cologne Cathedral in an unusually narrow portrait format: below, people crowd between market stalls, while above them the two towers climb almost to the top edge. A lively subject (about 6 x 14 cm) that looks especially good framed in its slim format; black and white or hand-coloured.
