Interior of an Inn is a 1861 by Charles François Daubigny, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a dimly lit hallway inside an inn, with three doors marked 12, 13, and another number. The floor is messy, with scattered shoes and a broken chair. Light spills from the open door on the right, revealing a staircase. The artist focused on everyday details—like the numbered doors and the clutter—to show real life, not polished scenes. This style was new for its time. Next, check out Realism to see more art that looks like ordinary moments.
