“Rothenburg Tor – Plößgasse” (Original Pencil-Signed Etching)

A finely executed original etching depicting the fortified gate and cobblestone approach to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany — a famous medieval walled Bavarian city. The artist captures the steep stone roadway rising toward the towered gate, with figures and carts moving through the foreground.

The work includes three inscriptions in pencil:
• “Rothenburg Tor” (location/title)
• “Plößgasse” (specific street or gate approach)
• Artist signature reading along the lines of Jens… / Jentz / Jentzen, typical of continental printmakers active mid-century.

The overall composition reflects traditional European architectural etching — dense cross-hatching, high perspective depth, and an old-world documentary tone. Nicely presented with period double matting and heavy carved frame, suitable for display.
