White to move. How do you assess this position. Which side would you prefer? (No computer please)

This study by Rinck in 1903 was sent in by Andreas.

Not very difficult I think, everything was pretty much forced.

Not difficult, I agree. But this is a study, not a puzzle. The hard part was creating it.

Not difficult, but rather beautiful.

Isn't it amazing that a few chess pieces scattered across a board can be beautiful?
