The Raven is a 1854 by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows a raven perched on a windowsill. The bird faces you, its feathers detailed in sharp lines. Above it, a rope hangs from a hook, and birds fly around a small balcony. Below, a sign with French text reads like a warning. The raven’s dark shape stands out against a rough brick wall. The words on the sign are playful but mysterious—no one knows exactly what they mean. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more of this artist’s work.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
