The Convent of Neuberg from Schlierbach is a 1829 ink by Ernst Fries, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet river scene with boats and a few people. On the shore, there’s a small church and a few houses. Tall trees line the background, and the hills are dotted with more trees. The artist used a smooth, sketchy style that makes the scene feel calm. This was made as a single print, not painted by hand. Want to know more? Look up lithography.
