1913
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
La Mare de la Prairie, Crèvecoeur is a 1913 by Auguste Lepère, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet street with three tall, narrow houses lined up side by side. A tree on the left leans over the scene, and a small river runs in front of the houses. People walk along the street, and two kids play near the water with a dog. The artist focused on simple lines and shading to create depth, especially in the water’s reflection. The houses look plain but cozy, with chimneys and small windows. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
