About this motif
Potsdam's Brandenburg Gate was built in 1770, making it older than its famous namesake in Berlin. Frederick the Great had it erected as a triumphal arch after the Seven Years' War.
König's miniature shows the gate close up and head-on with its columns, trophy decorations on the attic and the date in Roman numerals. Image about 5 x 5 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
