Path Through the Grain Field is a 1862 by Charles François Daubigny, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two people walking through tall grass or crops. The lines are loose and quick, almost like scribbles, with no smooth shapes. The background has wavy strokes that suggest wind or movement in the field. The artist’s signature is faint in the corner, but no other details stand out. The style feels rough and unfinished, like a quick study rather than a polished work. Next, look up Charles François Daubigny to see more of his sketches.
