1914
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Le Grand Duc Victor is a 1914 by Auguste Lepère, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a man in a military uniform. He’s standing tall, one hand raised like he’s giving a signal. Behind him, a simple landscape shows hills and a road. The artist signed it with the title *Le Grand Duc Victor*—that’s French for "Grand Duke Victor." The lines are clean and bold, with no shading to soften edges. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro next—it’s a technique using strong light and dark contrasts.
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.
