1890
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Cueillette du muguet is a 1890 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows two people in a garden. One stands tall, wearing a hat and holding a basket, while the other kneels, gathering flowers. The background has trees and a building, but the focus is on the quiet moment of picking flowers. The artist used shading to show light and shadow, making the scene feel real. This style was common in late 19th-century French art. Next, look up Realism to see more works like this one.
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.
