1804
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
War Encampment Scene (verso) is a 1804 by Constantin Guys, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a messy line drawing on yellowed paper. You can see horses, tents, and people in rough shapes. The lines are light and shaky, like a quick draft. The paper has writing on top—maybe notes about sizes or names. It looks old and worn, with brown stains. This is a sketch from the 1800s. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used raw, emotional drawings like this.
Constantin Guys (born Ernest-Adolphe Guys de Saint-Hélène, December 3, 1802 – December 13, 1892) was a French Crimean War correspondent, water color painter and illustrator for British and French newspapers.
