1878
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Square is a 1878 by Otto Henry Bacher, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy city square with tall buildings and ships in the background. People walk along the street, some carrying bags or tools. The drawing is made of quick, sketchy lines—no smooth shading, just rough strokes to show shapes and light. Notice how the artist didn’t focus on perfect details. Instead, they captured the messy, lively feel of the place. The title says it’s called *The Square*, and it’s from 1878. If you like this style, look up Realism next.
