Description
Up for sale is a beautiful, historically intriguing pair of original vintage miniature etchings (raderinger) by Danish artist A.F. Willumsen (1863-1958). Both pieces capture serene, snow-covered winter scenes of the historic 17th-century Kastellet (Citadel) fortress in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Housed in matching, elegant gilt-wood frames, these intimate, cabinet-sized pieces are perfect for a gallery wall, a desk easel, or a curated shelf display.

Piece 2 (The Footbridge):
- Markings: Hand-signed "A. F. Willumsen"
