Parisian Service (Haviland service): Night (no. 7) is a 1875 by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet winter scene with bare branches and small birds perched or walking on the ground. The trees have no leaves, and the birds look simple but lively. Some birds are sitting still, while others seem to be moving or pecking at the snow. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to show the birds and branches, making it feel quick and natural. The background is mostly empty, focusing attention on the birds and trees. If you like this style, check out Impressionism next.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
