Description: | Signed: yes Description: This small Swiss landscape is by an unknown artist who signed as L. Rilschaut. During the early nineteenth century several artists such as Johann Ludwig Aberli, Caspar Wolf, Johann Heinrich Wüest and Louis Ducros specialised in depicting recognisable scenes of the Swiss countryside. These painters were encouraged by a healthy market supported by the many tourists who flocked to this area during the nineteenth century. The small scale nature of this work and its pendant suggests they were souvenirs produced by a minor artist capitalising on this demand. | Subjects: | landscape; place (Switzerland); buildings and gardens | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Rilschaut, L.
