The Bellman

Samuel Palmer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Bellman by Samuel Palmer: A black and white drawing of a man standing on a path in a village, looking down at a pile of dead animals. The man wears a long coat and hat, and holds what appears to be a bell. He stands on a cobblestone road, surrounded by trees and buildings with steeply pitched roofs. In the background, mountains rise under a cloudy sky. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom left corner. A tree stands on the right side, and a small structure with a sloping roof is on the left. The overall scene is rendered in detailed, textured lines.
