Nieder-oesterreich, Markt St. Nikola is a 1839 by Jakob Alt, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet riverside village nestled between steep cliffs and forested hills. A narrow path hugs the rocky shore, where two people walk with a dog. On the water, a small boat carries passengers toward the town, where a church steeple stands out. The scene feels calm, with sharp contrasts between light and shadow. The title at the bottom reads *Markt St. Nikola*, hinting this is a real place in Austria. The artist used strong lines and shading to show depth, almost like a sketch brought to life.
