Framed Belgian Architectural Etching Print “Le Calvaire (Anvers)”

A framed Belgian etching titled Le Calvaire (Anvers), signed in pencil by G. Contryn and numbered 356/12. Likely dating to the early to mid 20th century, the print depicts a richly detailed architectural and religious scene in Antwerp, with Gothic arches, stone stairways and sculptural figures surrounding a calvary.

The fine etched lines and atmospheric shadows give the piece a wonderfully moody character, while the restrained dark frame and textured mount allow the artwork itself to remain the focus. The plate mark is still visible around the image.

This is a smaller-scale artwork that layers beautifully into antique interiors, whether displayed on a bookshelf, incorporated into a gallery wall or placed alongside religious decor, old books and candlelight.
