Perspektivhändler (Telescope Seller) is a 1775 ink by Carl Schütz, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image shows a man standing on a rock, wearing a long coat and holding a basket of various items. He has a telescope in his right hand and is looking through it. The man is dressed in 18th-century attire, with a tricorn hat and knee-high boots. The man's expression suggests that he is intently observing something through the telescope. The basket he holds contains several objects, including what appears to be a small box and a piece of paper. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of curiosity and exploration. This image is an example of an engraving, a technique used by artists like Carl Schütz.
