Art of the Lithograph: Landeck in Tirol, Plate III is a 1819 by Alois Senefelder, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows a quiet village nestled by a river. A hill rises behind it, topped with a small castle or tower. Trees frame the scene, and a few people walk near the buildings. The image looks like it was etched into a flat surface. The title below reads *"Dessin à la Plume"*, which means "drawing with a pen"—this was an early way to make prints before photography. Look up Romanticism next to see how artists used nature and emotion in their work.
