Baiern, Stadt Straubing is a 1839 by Jakob Alt, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet town by a river, with a church tower rising above the rooftops. In the foreground, a man sits on the grass near bushes, wearing a hat and loose clothes. A few cows graze lazily in the field, while more buildings stretch along the riverbank in the distance. The text at the bottom reads *"Baiern, Stadt Straubing,"* hinting this might be a real place. The artist used simple lines to show light and shadow, making the scene feel calm and everyday. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where this drawing is kept.
