A Stream in a Glade is a 1862 by Charles François Daubigny, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a dark, tangled forest with bare trees framing a narrow path. The path leads to a faint, misty opening where a stream glides toward a distant light. The whole scene is in black and white, with rough, sketchy lines that make the trees look wild and the water look soft. The artist used quick, uneven strokes to create texture—trees feel rough, while the stream looks almost smudged. It’s like the print was made in a hurry, or maybe the artist wanted it to feel alive and messy. If you like this style, look up Charles François Daubigny.
Charles-François Daubigny ( DOH-bin-yee, US: DOH-been-YEE, doh-BEEN-yee, French: ; 15 February 1817 – 19 February 1878) was a French painter, one of the members of the Barbizon school, and is considered an important precursor of impressionism.
