About this work

This black-and-white print shows a quiet riverside scene with a hilltop building in the background. A few people are scattered around: some near the water, one person fishing, and another two standing by a cart full of large logs. Trees line the riverbank, and a small wooden house sits to the left. The title at the bottom names the place: *Schloss und Kloster Illock*, which means this is a castle and monastery. The artist signed it as Jakob Alt, and the whole scene looks calm, like a snapshot of daily life. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
