1866
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Dinner Service (Rousseau service): Flowers (no. 23) is a 1866 by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing is all about flowers and leaves. The lines are smooth and simple, showing clusters of blooms—some big, some small—along with branches and tiny birds. The whole scene looks like it’s just sketched in ink, with no color. The flowers fill most of the space, spilling over the edges like a garden overflowing. The artist focused on nature’s details, making each leaf and petal feel real. This piece was part of a set of designs for tableware, so the flowers weren’t just for art—they were meant to be seen every day. If you like this style, check out Impressionism.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
