About this work

This black-and-white print shows a river winding through a forested valley. A lone person rows a small boat near the shore, while a rocky cliff rises in the background. Trees line the riverbank, and the water looks calm except for a few ripples. The title at the bottom, *Der Strudel*, hints this might be a real place—likely a spot where the river swirls dangerously. The artist focused on quiet nature, with no people in the distance. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
