1882
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Etchings of Venice: Beautiful View is a 1882 by Otto Henry Bacher, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows a woman in a long coat and skirt, leaning on a wrought-iron balcony. She holds a cigarette to her lips while looking out at a harbor filled with boats. The buildings behind her have arched windows and decorative railings. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, giving the scene a soft, sketchy feel. This style fits the Impressionism movement, which often focused on light and everyday moments. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more of this artist’s work in person.
