This is a graphic work by the Belgian artist Albert Goethals, depicting a cityscape of Bruges. The work shows the 'Spookhuis' (Haunted House) and the Augustijnenbrug (Augustinian Bridge), captured with detailed and expressive lines characteristic of the artist. The artwork is executed in black and white and features a handwritten title and signature by Albert Goethals. It is framed in a classic black frame with a subtle gold-colored inner rim, which enhances the historical character of the image. The technique suggests a lithograph or etching, presented behind glass. The work is in good condition, commensurate with its age. The frame shows some signs of age, which contributes to the authentic appearance of the whole. The paper displays slight, natural discoloration. This atmospheric cityscape comes into its own beautifully in a classic or eclectic interior. It is a refined addition to a gallery wall or as a standalone work in a study or hallway.
