Winter is a 1864 by Charles Jacque, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a quiet winter scene in the woods. A group of cows stands or rests near bare trees, their breath probably visible in the cold air. Two people are nearby—one sits on the ground near the cows, while another stands farther back, holding a stick. The title *L’Hiver* (Winter) hints this is about seasonal life. The artist focused on simple, everyday moments rather than grand scenes. Look up Realism to see more art that shows life as it truly is.
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.
