1875
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Les Petits Maisons Kercassier is a 1875 by Charles Jacque, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a simple, crooked house with a thatched roof, nestled among bare trees and scrubby bushes. The lines are loose and quick, like a rough sketch. The ground is uneven, with patches of grass and dirt. The artist focused on the rough texture of the roof and the tangled branches, making everything look a little messy but real. This style was common in landscapes from that time. Next, check out Impressionism to see how artists like this one played with light and movement.
Charles-Émile Jacque (23 May 1813 – 7 May 1894) was a French painter of Pastoralism and engraver who was, with Jean-François Millet, part of the Barbizon School. He first learned to engrave maps when he spent seven years in the French Army.
