Friendship is a 1867 by Charles Jacque, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows a person sitting in a grassy field, petting a sheep. The person is dressed simply, with a loose shirt and cap, and they’re focused on the animal. Tall trees and bushes fill the background, giving a quiet, natural feel. The title *Friendship* hints this is about the bond between the person and the sheep. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and texture, especially in the grass and fur. Next, check out Realism to see how artists like Jacque captured everyday life.
