Harry Kelly's, Putney is a 1866 by Francis Seymour Haden, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet river scene with two sailboats anchored near the shore. Small buildings line the waterfront, and a tall church tower rises in the background. A lone rower paddles a boat in the foreground, while trees and a few scattered people add life to the scene. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture light and movement, almost like a quick study. This style was common in 1860s Britain, where artists often worked fast to capture real-life moments. Look up Impressionism, Realism next—they were key movements shaping this kind of honest, everyday scene.
Francis Seymour Haden (1818–1910) was a British artist.
