1862
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Lapwings and Teals is a 1862 by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a group of birds near water and reeds. Some birds are flying, one is mid-flap with wings spread, while others float or swim on the surface. Tall grasses and branches with round leaves fill the top half, giving a sense of a marshy area. The artist focused on small details like feathers and ripples in the water, making the scene feel alive. This kind of careful observation was key in the art of its time. Look up Realism to see more works that focus on everyday nature like this one.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
