"The Governor of Schopfheim" is a lithograph created in 1820 by German artist Sophie Reinhard, known for her illustrations and portraits. This print, part of a series inspired by Johann Peter Hebel's poetry, depicts a scene from the Alemannic dialect poem, "Der Städthälter von Schopfheim". The lithograph is notable for its detailed depiction of the 19th century German countryside, as well as the figures in the foreground, the governor and a woman who appears to be pleading with him. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this artwork.
