The Ford is a 1865 by Charles François Daubigny, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet riverbank with a group of sheep resting under bare trees. The water looks calm, with gentle ripples. On the right, a tree’s branches stretch across the scene, while the sheep huddle close together near the shore. The artist used fine lines to show texture, like the rough wool of the sheep and the smooth water. The shadows and light create a simple but detailed look. Next, check out Charles François Daubigny.
