1888
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Petit bras de Seine au Pont Neuf is a 1888 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man leaning on a stone railing, looking out over a river. Behind him, a bridge with three arches stretches across the water, with buildings and trees in the distance. The scene is drawn in loose, quick lines, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. The artist focused on everyday life near the Seine River in Paris. The bridge looks like the Pont Neuf, a famous Paris landmark. Look up Impressionism to see how this style changed how artists showed light and movement.
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.
