1894
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Le Débardeur: Quai de la Gare is a 1894 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy waterfront with boats, buildings, and people. In the foreground, a man stands on a rocky shore, holding a pole. Behind him, a barge is loaded with large tree trunks, and workers are unloading them near a dock. The background has houses and ships along the riverbank. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture movement and light. This style fits the Impressionist focus on everyday scenes. Look up Impressionism next to see more works like this.
