1871
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Charles Kean is a 1871 by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man leaning over a small table, drawing with a pencil in his right hand. His left arm rests on the table, and he looks focused. Behind him, a violin leans against a chair. The lines are loose and quick, with shading that suggests light falling on his face and shoulders. The artist used simple strokes to capture the man’s posture and the tools around him. This style fits the Realism movement, which aimed to show everyday life honestly. Look up Realism to see more works that focus on plain, truthful scenes.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
