1888
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Cottages is a 1888 by James Ensor, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet village with small houses and two tall church spires. Trees line the street, and the sky is full of swirling lines. The whole scene looks like it was drawn with quick, sketchy strokes. The artist used lots of shading to make the scene feel textured. It’s not super detailed—just rough lines that still look real.
