1876
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Courtyard is a 1876 by Philip Gilbert Hamerton, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows a quiet courtyard with a woman standing near a well. A small wooden boat sits on the ground, and ducks waddle in the foreground. Trees and a church steeple frame the scene, while a house with open windows lines the right side. The artist focuses on everyday life, with simple lines and soft shading. Notice how the well and boat add a sense of calm to the scene. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
