    This is a etching/watercolor of Schillerplatz Stuttgart, Germany. It is still matted from it's original mounting however it has been removed from the frame. The picture measures 8" by 8" and with full matting 10.5" by 12". The artist's signature is directly to the right of the flower seller in the foreground but is in pencil and also un-legible. The picture is identified in the lower right side as "der Schillerplatz im Stuttgart". Shown is the Fruchtkasten Building to the right, the Collegiate Church to the left, and in the center is the Schiller Memorial Statue. The square is filled with various market vendors (flowers, vegetables, fruits, etc.).
    *** Schillerplatz is a square in the old city centre of Stuttgart, Germany named in honour of the German poet, philosopher, historian, and dramatist Friedrich Schiller. Schillerplatz stands to the south west of Stuttgart's main square, Schlossplatz. Starting in the south west corner, Schillerplatz is surrounded by the Stiftskirche (the Collegiate Church), the Fruchtkasten building, the Prinzenbau (which now houses the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Justice, the Alte Kanzlei (Old Chancellery) and Altes Schloss (the Old Castle). A street market takes place twice a week on Schillerplatz. The square is also used for major events taking place on Marktplatz (Stuttgart's Market Square) such as the annual Christmas Market. Hidden underneath Schillerplatz's cobblestones is an underground car park. The late Gothic Fruchtkasten building in the corner of Schillerplatz is now used by the State Museum of Württemberg to house a collection of musical instruments. At the centre of the cobblestone square is a memorial to Friedrich Schiller which was erected in 1839 by the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. Thorvaldsen's statue was the first memorial to Schiller to be erected in Germany.
