The Little Brids is a 1850 by Charles François Daubigny, a Impressionism work, depicting Road, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
Daubigny shows a quiet river scene at dusk. Gentle light glows on the water as a small boat drifts past tall reeds. A few birds rest on the grassy bank, still and calm. This was painted in 1850, when artists were shifting away from strict rules. Daubigny often worked outside, not in a studio, capturing real moments. Look next at Charles François Daubigny (French, 1817–1878).
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.
