1894
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
[Peasants by a Dock, Paris] is a 1894 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy riverbank scene. On the left, a woman in a hooded cloak leans over the water, holding a fish. Nearby, a child sits on a rock, while another person crouches by a pile of fish. In the background, boats float on the river, and buildings line the shore. The artist uses soft, smudgy lines to show light and shadow, giving the scene a dreamy feel. The focus is on everyday people doing ordinary tasks. Look up Realism next to see how this style shows life as it really is.
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.
