About this motif
Above the passage of the Holsten Gate is the Latin inscription "Concordia domi foris pax" – harmony within, peace without. It sums up the Hanseatic city's sense of itself.
In this version (KVCF-24-08) Behrens shows the gate with the towers of St Mary's Church behind and a path with market folk and colourful umbrellas in front. Picture about 12 x 16 cm on 26 x 37 cm paper, plain, watercoloured or framed.
