About this motif
Nuremberg's Christkindlesmarkt is one of the best-known Christmas markets in the world. It is traditionally opened by the Christkind, who recites a prologue from the gallery of the Frauenkirche.
König's etching shows the Hauptmarkt in the snow with the Schöner Brunnen, the Frauenkirche and rows of red and white market stalls. Image about 8 x 11 cm on an 18 x 24 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
