Adirondacks is a 1868 by Homer Dodge Martin, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man sitting in a wooden canoe near rocks and shallow water. He’s wearing a hat, a loose shirt, and holds a pipe in one hand while resting his arm on the boat’s edge. In the background, a faint line of trees and hills stretches across the page, drawn lightly. The artist focused on simple shapes and loose lines, leaving most of the page blank. This style makes the scene feel quick and natural, like a snapshot of a moment. If you like this, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like it.
