1894
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
[Man in a Boat with Three Sheep] is a 1894 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a small boat, herding three sheep across shallow water. Bare trees line the banks, and a thatched-roof building sits in the background. The lines are loose and quick, like a sketch rather than a finished drawing. The artist focused on the quiet moment of moving animals through water—a simple but unusual scene. The style looks like it was drawn fast, almost like a quick note of what they saw. If you like this, check out Impressionism for more sketches like this one.
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.
