1872
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Meyer-Heine is a 1872 by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows an older man with a long white beard, sitting indoors near a window. His hands rest on a table, and he looks thoughtful. Outside, bare trees and a dark sky fill the background, drawn in loose, sketchy lines. The artist focused on the man’s face and hands, leaving the rest of the scene simpler. The contrast between light and shadow on his features is subtle but clear. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in art.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
