1891
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Petit bras au Pont St. Michel is a 1891 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, depicting Seine, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a single arm resting on the stone railing of a Paris bridge. The hand wears a simple glove. Sunlight hits the wrist just right. Look closer: the artist didn’t paint the whole person. Just that arm and a scrap of sleeve. The background is blurry. It feels like a quick sketch, not a polished picture. It makes you wonder why the rest is missing. Check out Auguste Louis Lepère (French, 1849–1918) next.
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.
