1879
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Sketch from Nature is a 1879 by Otto Henry Bacher, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a forest scene with tall, thin trees and a small boat on a river. The lines are loose and quick, like scribbles, but they still show the shapes of the trees and water. The paper looks old and worn, with some smudges and marks. The artist focused on capturing how light hits the trees and water, not every detail. This style was common in the late 1800s for outdoor sketches. Look up Impressionism to see more art like this.
