Karl Franz Kraul, a German artist born in 1754, created "Eichenwald mit zwei Strohhütten, im Vordergrund ein Bach mit zwei Bauern in einem Boot," a delicate black and white drawing depicting a peaceful rural scene. The artwork showcases a flowing stream, two figures in a boat, and two thatched roof cottages nestled within a lush forest. Kraul's drawing, held in the Städel Museum, is a beautiful example of 18th-century landscape art, reflecting the popular artistic trend of depicting the idyllic beauty of nature.
