Art of the Lithograph: Transfer of a Wood Engraving, Plate VI is a 1819 by Alois Senefelder, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image depicts a page from an old book, featuring a black-and-white illustration of a man standing on a rocky path. The man is dressed in a tunic and shorts, with a bag slung over his shoulder. He appears to be looking at something off to his left. In the background, there are trees and bushes, as well as a building in the distance. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of rustic simplicity. The illustration is accompanied by French text, which suggests that the book may have been published in France.
