1878
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
House Over Water is a 1878 by Otto Henry Bacher, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a simple wooden house tilted at a sharp angle, like it’s about to slip into the water below. The roof has a small chimney, and the walls look weathered. A person stands near the edge of the water, holding something long—maybe a pole or a ladder. The ground is uneven, with rocks and a few scattered sticks. The house is drawn in a loose, sketchy style, almost like a quick study. The artist focused on the odd angle and the way light might hit the rough wood. If you like this kind of detailed sketching, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art.
