1890
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Snowball Fight: Quai aux Fleurs is a 1890 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a snowy street scene packed with people. Kids are throwing snowballs while adults shovel snow or watch. Horses pull carts, and one wagon is tipped over. The background has buildings and a river, all sketched in quick, scratchy lines. The title *Snowball Fight* hints this is a lively, everyday moment—maybe a holiday or just winter fun. The artist used loose, sketchy strokes to capture movement and energy. Next, check out Auguste Louis Lepère (French, 1849–1918) for more of his playful city scenes.
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.
