The House in Moonlight is a 1909 by Henri Le Sidaner, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a house in the moonlight. The house is in the middle of the image, and it's surrounded by trees. The moon is shining down on the house, making it look bright and white. The painting is done in a style that makes it look like it's made up of lots of tiny brushstrokes. The colors are mostly dark, with some lighter spots where the moon is shining. The overall effect is one of calmness and quiet. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of Henri Le Sidaner.
