1858
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Small ferry-boats on the banks oft he Seine is a 1858 by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two small boats floating on calm water. One boat has a person rowing, while the other sits empty. The shore has a few trees and bushes, and the whole scene looks simple and quiet. The artist used quick, loose lines to make the drawing feel light and fast. The boats and water are the main focus, with very little detail in the background. If you like this style, look up Impressionism next.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
