Montmartre, le Moulin de la Gallette is a 1897 by Eugène Béjot, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a crowded, hilly town with wooden houses packed together. A tall windmill stands on a hill in the background, while chimneys and rooftops fill the rest. The lines are rough, giving everything a textured, almost scratched look. The artist focused on everyday buildings, not fancy scenes. The way light hits the rooftops makes some parts darker than others. Want to see more? Check out Impressionism for similar city scenes.
Eugène Béjot (1867–1931) was a French artist, born in Paris.
