The Question Mark is a 1865 by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a pond with seven ducks resting or swimming. Some are floating, others are half-submerged, and one is pecking at the water. The background has tall reeds and a few bushes, with a dark, shadowy area behind them. The artist used fine lines to show texture, like the ripples in the water or the feathers on the ducks. The print looks like it was made using an etching technique. Check out Félix Bracquemond to see how he used this method in other works.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
