1859
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Ralph Waldo Emerson is a 1859 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white sketch of a man in profile. He’s wearing a dark coat, a white shirt, and a bow tie. His hair is short and neatly combed, and he’s looking slightly to the side. The artist used soft shading to show light and shadow on his face. This style makes the portrait look calm and thoughtful. Next, check out sfumato to see how artists blend edges like this.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
