House of Heinrich Schliemann

Deutsche Grafik 1850–1890, 1890

The image shows a street-level view with an ornate, multi-story building on the right side. The building features neoclassical architecture with statues on the rooftop. The perspective is angled, showing the façade and one side of the building with arched windows and intricate detailing. The horizon is partially obscured by the building and lacks distinct elements. The brushstrokes are fine and precise, capturing the building's intricate designs. The color palette is subdued with primarily sepia tones. Pedestrians in period clothing are seen on the street, and lush trees line the edges, adding a natural contrast.
