As on many other works by this artist, with the Rothenburg convent is a sacred building in the focus of this etching. Measurements 3.5' x 2.95' (etching), 5.1' x 5.1' (sheet). With ageing traces (paper browned), apart from this in very good condition. Coming from modest circumstances, Forester was pupil of Otto Ludwig Naegele, Munich (1908 - 1910). Since 1919, he had his own studio in the Plönlein, etchings and woodcuts, at times own print workshop, later on also water colors and oil paintings. Beside numerous other engagements, Forester was a co-founder of the Rothenburger artist's alliance in 1923 (beside Philippi, W. Shaft and others).
