Nieder-oesterreich, Das Alte Schloss Grempenstein is a 1839 by Jakob Alt, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows a quiet river scene. Two people row a small boat, one standing and one sitting. On the shore, a wooden hut sits near the water’s edge. In the background, a hill rises with a small castle perched on top, surrounded by trees. The artist focused on simple shapes and smooth shading to show depth. The castle looks old and sturdy, blending into the landscape. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
