About this work

This print shows a quiet riverside scene with two men near the water. One stands by a tree, looking out, while the other sits in a small boat, holding an oar. In the background, a town with church steeples sits on a hill, surrounded by fields and a few boats on the river. The name at the bottom, *Syrmien, Markt Kamenicz*, hints this is a real place, likely far from the artist’s home. The careful shading in the trees and buildings gives the scene depth without bright colors. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
