Ungern, Zweite Ansicht von Theben is a 1839 by Jakob Alt, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a rocky hill with a castle built right on top. Below it, a wide river stretches out, with two small boats carrying people. The shore has a few bushes and a tiny graveyard with a few headstones. The sky is partly cloudy, and the whole scene looks calm and quiet. The text at the bottom says "Ungern, Zweite Ansicht von Theben," which means it’s a second view of Thebes, likely a place in Germany. The artist used simple lines to show light and shadow, making the scene feel real. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more prints like this.
