About this work

This black-and-white print shows a quiet riverside scene. A small village sits on a hill in the background, with a church and scattered buildings. In the foreground, three people stand under a tree, while another person walks along the shore with a boat. The river is calm, with a few people on a larger boat in the middle. The title at the bottom reads "Nieder-oesterreich, Kloster Seisenstein," which suggests this is a monastery near Vienna. The artist used careful shading to show depth and texture in the landscape.
