Paris Almanac, 1897: Decorative Border, Autumn is a 1897 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This border print shows autumn scenes in four small panels. At the top, a woman sits under an umbrella, surrounded by falling leaves and flowers. To the left, a basket of fruit and grapes sits on a table. On the right, a woman holds a bundle of sticks, and at the bottom, a man plows a field with a horse. The word "AUTOMNE" (French for autumn) sits in a banner at the top. The whole piece looks like it was drawn with a pen, with thick black lines and no color. Look up Realism next to see how artists showed everyday life in detail.
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.
