1915
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
A Bellot is a 1915 by Auguste Lepère, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet countryside scene. A small white house sits in the background, surrounded by trees and a grassy yard. In the foreground, a narrow dirt path winds through tall grass, with a few scattered rocks and a small dip in the ground. The artist focused on simple lines and shading to create depth. The trees and house are drawn with loose, quick strokes, giving the scene a sketchy, unfinished feel. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
Louis-Auguste Lepère (30 November 1849 – 20 November 1918) was a French painter and etcher. Lepère is also considered a leader in the creative revival of wood engraving in Europe.
