Daffodils is a 1884 by Harry Fenn, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of three tall daffodils. The flowers stand out with thick, dark petals and long, wavy leaves. One bloom is fully open, while the others are still budding. The lines are bold and simple, with no shading—just clean shapes against a blank background. The artist signed it in Greek letters, which might be a nod to their interest in nature’s forms. This style fits the quiet focus of Realism, where details matter more than drama. Check out Harry Fenn for more of his precise plant drawings.
Harry Fenn (September 14, 1837 – April 22, 1911) was an English-born American illustrator, landscape painter, etcher, and wood engraver.
