1894
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
La femme au berceau is a 1894 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting in a wooden rocking chair, holding a baby. Behind her, a man leans on a table, smoking a cigarette while a child plays on the floor. The lines are loose and sketchy, with some dark shading for contrast. The artist focuses on everyday life, capturing a quiet moment with quick, expressive strokes. The drawing feels alive despite its simplicity. Look up Realism next to see how artists like this one showed ordinary scenes.
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.
