What does this mean?

Hello Vasile,

Thank you for choosing Mearto for your online appraisal and for your patience.

Regarding your item:

This item is an original drypoint etching titled "Christus im Tempel" (Christ in the Temple). Created using the technique of kaltnadelradierung, where the image is incised directly onto a metal plate with a sharp needle, this print captures a scene depicting Christ in the temple. The etching is attributed to V. Elisabeth Kronstedt and is dated approximately around 1920.

The mention of "Malerin vom Salmersberg" suggests a connection to either the subject matter or the artist's association with Salmersberg, though the exact nature of this reference is not clear. It could indicate that the etching is based on a painting by an artist associated with Salmersberg, or it may refer to the location where the artist worked or lived.

Despite the ambiguity surrounding the reference to Salmersberg, the etching itself reflects the meticulous skill and artistry of V. Elisabeth Kronstedt. The detailed lines and delicate shading characteristic of drypoint etchings evoke a sense of reverence and solemnity, capturing the spiritual essence of the scene depicted.

With its historical significance and artistic merit, "Christus im Tempel" serves as a testament to the enduring influence of religious themes in art and the craftsmanship of printmakers like V. Elisabeth Kronstedt.

Very good condition overall

Thank you again for submitting your item for an appraisal and I hope that you have a nice day!

Kind regards,
David U.
