These swift sketches show the Kapuzinerberg and Kapuzinerkloster in Salzburg. Ascending the Kapuzinerberg, visitors pass by six Stations of the Cross built in the eighteenth century. The first of these, showing the figures of Christ and Mary, is depicted at bottom right. A separate squared off view of the Kapuzinerberg is rendered with the sketchbook turned in accordance with the foliation.
