1890
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Etude a Quatre Mains is a 1890 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman sitting at a piano, her hands poised over the keys. She wears a striped dress and has her hair pulled back. The room is dimly lit, with only a sliver of light peeking through the curtains. The woman's face is tilted upwards, her eyes closed as if lost in thought. Her fingers hover above the keys, as if she's about to begin playing. The piano itself is old-fashioned, with intricate carvings on the legs. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's contemplative expression. Next, explore the works of artist Auguste Louis Lepère.
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.
