Up for sale is a magnificent antique oil painting on canvas depicting the famous German castle "Dornröschenschloss", more commonly referred to as "Sleeping Beauty Castle".

In the lower right foreground a finely dressed figure in red with a sword on his hip sits upon an elegant white horse looking out to the fairytale inspired castle. Pink flowers are seen flowing over the roofs, ledges and balconies like a floral waterfall. This is really a special painting and one that deserves of a good home.
