1915
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Glen Strae is a 1915 by David Young Cameron, depicting Lake, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet lake with a few small houses along the shore. The water is calm, and the far bank has trees and rolling hills. The artist used soft, thin lines to draw the scene, leaving most of the paper light-colored. The hills in the background are drawn with quick, sketchy strokes—almost like they were drawn fast. The whole scene feels peaceful and simple. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works like it.
Sir David Young Cameron (28 June 1865 – 16 September 1945) was a Scottish painter and, with greater success, etcher, mostly of townscapes and landscapes in both cases. He was a leading figure in the final decades of the Etching Revival.
