Landscape is a 1864 by Charles Jacque, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a quiet forest scene. Tall trees fill most of the space, their branches twisting together. In the middle, a small clearing has a few logs and a stump. The ground is covered in grass and scattered leaves. The artist used fine lines to show light and shadow, making the trees look almost three-dimensional. This style was common in prints of the time.
