1867
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
A Pond is a 1867 by Adolphe Appian, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet pond surrounded by bare trees and tangled branches. The water is smooth, with faint ripples near the shore. In the distance, a hill and a few buildings peek through the branches. The artist used fine, sketchy lines to show texture—like the rough bark of trees or the soft water. This style makes the scene feel alive, even though it’s just pencil on paper. Next, look up Adolphe Appian (French, 1818–1898) to see how he turned simple landscapes into something special.
Adolphe Appian (born as Jacques Barthelemy Adolphe Appian; 28 August 1819 – 29 April 1898) was a French landscape painter and etcher.
