1832
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Sketches at Home and Abroad: Lyons Church of St. Hezier, October 1832 is a 1832 by James Duffield Harding, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy street scene with a large, pointed church tower in the center. People in old-fashioned clothes walk, chat, and gather near a horse-drawn carriage. To the right, a café with a sign reading "Café de l'Europe" sits under a black awning. The buildings are detailed with windows, balconies, and streetlamps, while a few dogs lie on the ground. Notice how the artist captures the mix of old architecture and daily life. The church’s steep spires and the café’s sign suggest a European city from the early 1800s. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where this sketch is kept.
James Duffield Harding (1798 – 4 December 1863) was a British landscape painter, lithographer and author of drawing manuals. His use of tinted papers and opaque paints in watercolour proved influential.
