1910
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Paris: The Little Fruit Shop is a 1910 by Ernest Haskell, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy Paris street corner with a small fruit shop in the center. The shop’s display is packed with circles and ovals—maybe apples and pears—while people walk or stand nearby. Above, a balcony and rooftops crowd the top half, drawn in quick, uneven lines. The whole scene feels rushed, like it was made fast. The artist’s loose, sketchy style makes the city feel alive but messy. The tiny details—like the hats on some heads or the scattered leaves—add life without slowing down the energy. If you like this quick, lively style, check out Ernest Haskell (American, 1876–1925).
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.
