A few people walk along the path, and the sky above is soft blue with scattered clouds. The text at the top names this one of a series called *Eight Views of Famous Places*. It’s a snapshot of a place meant to feel peaceful and timeless. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where this print is kept.
