Eifeldorf

Franz Xaver Hoch

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a sepia-toned drawing of a rural scene titled "Eifeldorf" by Franz Xaver Hoch. The scene depicts a cloudy sky over a village with a stream running through it. The stream runs horizontally across the center of the image, on the right side. On the right side of the stream is a large tree and several smaller ones. Behind the trees are several buildings with dark roofs and white walls. The buildings appear to be houses or barns. There are more buildings on the left side of the image, partially obscured by trees. The sky is filled with large, fluffy clouds. The overall atmosphere of the image is peaceful and serene. The image has a rectangular shape with a thin brown border. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-right corner.
