About this motif
The Grand Theatre in Posen opened at the beginning of the 20th century. Today it is the city's opera house.
Bruck shows the theatre head-on with its tall portico of columns and triangular pediment above a flight of steps, everything mirrored in a pool in the foreground. A stately view of about 15 x 20 cm on 32 x 42 cm paper – uncoloured, colour-washed or framed.
