Ungern, Ruinen des Schlosses Theben is a 1839 by Jakob Alt, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a lone man in a wide-brimmed hat standing by a riverbank, staring at a towering rock with ruins perched on top. The water is calm, and the landscape around him is dotted with small bushes and a few trees. A small boat floats near the ruins, and the sky above is light with wispy clouds. The title at the bottom reads *Ruinen des Schlosses Theben*, which means "ruins of Theben Castle." The artist focused on the contrast between the quiet figure and the dramatic, jagged rock.
