1905
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Leeds Warehouses is a 1905 by Muirhead Bone, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy riverbank with tall buildings on one side and a crane on the other. A small boat carries two people in the water, while the shore is packed with warehouses and docks. The lines are loose and quick, giving the scene a rough, sketchy feel. Notice how the artist used shading to show depth, especially in the buildings and the boat. The dark lines make some areas pop forward while others fade back. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
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.
