Original artwork description:

Did you ever visit Dresden? What first springs to mind when you think of Dresden? The Frauenkirche? The Semperoper? The Dresden Zwinger? Or do you visualise a large chunk of chocolate? That too would be perfectly appropriate. Dresden was, after all, Germany’s first ‘capital city of chocolate’.

In addition Dresden can still lay claim to its nickname of “Florence on the Elbe” (das Elbflorenz). Dresden or Meissen china (porcelain) is another thing that the city is famous for. The art of making porcelain began in Dresden, but the industry moved to nearby Meissen in 1710.

I can look at Dresden's architecture for hours. The architecture is always different, touched by time and history. All these details, texture, chips, scuffs.

This work here is a single copy of my unique and original handwork. It is made on special, high-quality 100% cotton paper designed for watercolor from the world’s best manufacturers and has a density of 300 grams / meter.
