1910
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Autumnal Point is a 1910 by Ernest Haskell, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white forest scene with tall, skinny trees clustered around a rocky shore. The water below is calm, with small ripples near the bank. Some trees have lost their leaves, while others still hold a few branches bare. The artist focused on texture—rough bark, jagged rocks, and wavy water all stand out in the lines. The shadows and light create a sense of depth, even though there’s no color. This style reminds you of *chiaroscuro*, where light and dark contrast shapes.
Ernest Haskell was an American artist and illustrator, internationally famous in his lifetime and remembered for his etchings, as well as engravings, pen-and-ink drawings, lithographs and watercolors.
