1878
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Cottage and Two Figures in a Boat is a 1878 by Charles Henry Miller, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet scene of a small house hidden behind tall trees. A boat with two figures sits on a calm river, while a bridge stretches across the water in the background. The trees are thick with branches, and the whole scene is drawn in sharp black lines against a light, textured paper. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture light and shadow, making the scene feel alive. This style was common in Impressionism, where artists focused on how light changes things.

Charles Henry Miller, N.A. was an artist and painter of landscapes from Long Island, New York. The American poet Bayard Taylor (1825–1878) called him, "The artistic discoverer of the little continent of Long Island."
