If you are interested in this rare etching by an established master of the Stimmungslandschaft (forest mood)—noting that Kröner, alongside Richard Friese, is a leading exponent of Jagdmalerei (hunting scenes) that appealed to the aesthetic and cultural sensibilities of the hunting elite in fin de siècle Germany—please contact me at oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com.
