About this work

This drawing shows a quiet riverside scene. In the foreground, a goat stands on a rocky path near a small bridge. Behind it, a sheep rests on the ground. Trees line the riverbank, and across the water, a small town sits on a hillside. The artist labeled the place "Kellheim" at the bottom. That suggests this is a real village, not just a made-up landscape. If you like this kind of detailed landscape, check out Jakob Alt (Austrian, 1789–1872).
