The Garden of the Inn at Dulwich is a 1870 by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet garden with two big trees framing a small building. The trees have thick, tangled branches, and the ground is covered in loose leaves and shadows. In the background, a house peeks through the foliage, and a broken column lies on the right side. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture light and shadow instead of smooth details. This style was common in early Impressionist work. Look up Impressionism next to see more paintings like this one.
