1915
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Souvenir d'Amsterdam is a 1915 by David Young Cameron, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows tall, narrow houses along a canal, drawn in loose, quick lines. The buildings have steep roofs, big windows, and small balconies. A boat floats in the water below, with a few people inside. The whole scene looks like it’s made from pencil or charcoal, with no color. The artist focused on the shapes and shadows of the buildings, not the details. This style makes the scene feel simple but lively. Next, check out David Young Cameron (British, 1865–1945) to see how his other work compares.
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.
