About this work
Description
"A view of Stockholm Harbour, with the floating market being conducted on rafts and boats in the foreground. To the left a sailing ship, two masts of which are visible, lies at her moorings. Close to the quay is a small steamer, and the background is formed by houses rising one above the other on the hillside, while above all is the lofty dome of the Church of St Catherine. [This print] forms one of the most striking of Mr. Haig's etchings of his native country. It is one in which he has introduced many figures, the busy life of the floating market being in effective contrast with the tranquil dignity of the background."--Armstrong. loc. cit.
