1880
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Castello Quarter, Riva is a 1880 by Otto Henry Bacher, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy waterfront scene with people walking along a dock. Boats float in the harbor, and buildings line the shore, some with people on balconies. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and daily life. Notice how the artist focused on everyday moments—like a woman carrying an umbrella or people loading a small boat. The loose, sketchy style captures a moment in time. Look up Realism to see more art that shows ordinary life this way.
Otto Henry Bacher (May 31, 1856, Cleveland - August 16, 1909, Bronxville, New York) was an American artist; primarily known for his etchings and illustrations. He also painted oils in a variety of genres.
