1887
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Tree on Top of a Stone Wall, Cleveland is a 1887 by Otto Henry Bacher, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a bare tree with twisted branches standing behind a low stone wall. The wall has a small arched opening, like a window or gate, with bars across it. A bird perches on the wall near the tree, and a fence runs along the right side. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture the tree’s rough shape and the wall’s texture. The drawing feels loose and unfinished, like a quick note of what they saw. Look up Realism to see how artists focused on everyday scenes like this.
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.
