About this work

This print shows a quiet countryside scene with four oxen grazing on a grassy slope near a river. Behind them, a small village nestles at the base of a rocky hill topped with ruins of an old castle. Trees and bushes frame the edges, while the sky above has soft, wispy clouds. The title at the bottom names the place: *"Syrmien, Markt und Ruinen des Schlosses Sharengrad"*—which means this is a market scene near the ruins of Sharengrad Castle. Check out the artist who made this: Jakob Alt (Austrian, 1789–1872).
