1890
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Le Marché aux Pommes is a 1890 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy riverside scene with a long, crowded staircase leading down to boats. People are walking up and down, some carrying bags or baskets. In the background, a city skyline with towers and a bridge stretches across the water, while ships and smaller boats float near the shore. The artist focused on everyday life, not polished details. The lines are loose and expressive, almost like a quick sketch. This style fits a movement that valued light and real-life moments over perfect finishes.
