1866
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Dinner Service (Rousseau service): Butterflies and Fish (no. 16) is a 1866 by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print is packed with black outlines on a light background, showing fish and butterflies scattered across the page. The fish have big eyes and wavy fins, while the butterflies have delicate wings with intricate patterns. Some look like they’re swimming or flying, and others seem to float in the space between them. The artist used only two colors—black ink and the paper’s natural tone—to create depth and detail. This style is simple but full of life, making even small creatures stand out.
