1906
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Glasgow University is a 1906 by Muirhead Bone, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy dock by a city. A crane lifts something heavy over the water. Ships sit in the background, and buildings with spires line the skyline. Workers stand near the water’s edge, handling ropes and tools. The artist used soft, smudged lines to show light and shadow. This style makes the scene feel hazy, like a foggy day. Look up Realism next to see more art like this.
Sir Muirhead Bone (23 March 1876 – 21 October 1953) was a Scottish etcher and watercolourist who became known for his depiction of industrial and architectural subjects and his work as a war artist in both the First and Second World Wars.
