1894
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Au Marais Inondé: Le Bergère is a 1894 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a flooded field with bare trees and a small house in the background. A woman in a dark coat and hat herds two sheep through the water, stepping into a waiting boat. The scene looks quiet and a little lonely, with the trees reflected in the shallow floodwater. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture the mood of the moment. The trees look twisted and bare, which makes the scene feel cold and still. If you like this style, check out Impressionism 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.
