On the Test is a 1859 by Francis Seymour Haden, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet, misty landscape with a river in the foreground. A few sheep graze near the water, while trees and bushes line the banks. In the distance, a village sits on a hill, its buildings barely visible through the haze. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture the mood of the scene, focusing on light and shadow rather than detail. This style was common in early studies for larger works.
