1886
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Carriage House (Le wagon-logement) is a 1886 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a simple farm scene with rough wooden buildings. A woman in a long dress carries a basket, while kids and animals scatter around. The ground is muddy, and a barrel sits near a small hut. The artist focused on everyday life, not fancy scenes. The drawing is loose and sketchy, almost like a quick note. If you like this style, look up Realism next—it’s all about plain, true-to-life images.
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.
