Signed Hand-Colored Etching of a European River Cityscape (likely Hamburg or Copenhagen)

This item is an original hand-colored etching or lithograph depicting a panoramic river landscape with a prominent European city skyline in the background. The artwork features a composition with a bridge crossing the water at the mid-left, several sailboats at a pier in the foreground, and lush green trees in the lower right. The skyline is characterized by multiple Gothic-style church spires and classic nineteenth-century architecture, suggesting a Northern European city such as Hamburg, Germany (Alster Lake) or Copenhagen, Denmark. The color palette consists of muted greens, soft blues, and subtle earth tones, likely applied via hand-watercoloring over a printed base. The piece is executed on paper and is mounted within a frame under glass. Visible in the lower margin is a handwritten pencil title on the left and a cursive pencil signature on the right. While the specific name is difficult to decipher from the image, the style of the signature and the quality of the line work suggest a mid-20th-century artist specializing in topographical city views. The condition shows minor signs of age-related toning (yellowing) to the paper, particularly around the margins. There is a visible glare on the glass from the photography, but the underlying print appears intact without significant foxing or water damage. The craftsmanship reflects a high-quality decorative print intended for a gallery or specialized collector market, common in the first half of the 20th century.
