Stable is a 1859 by Charles Jacque, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white sketch shows a dim stable with a herd of sheep clustered around a wooden trough. A person stands near a ladder, holding a bundle of hay. The walls are rough, and a small window lets in faint light. The animals are packed tightly, some grazing, others resting. The artist focused on the quiet details of farm life—like the way the sheep huddle together. This style fits the Realism movement.
