La rue Lacépède: le cour de l'Aciereur Cottens is a 1910 by Gustave Leheutre, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a row of old houses with steep roofs and small windows. In the shadows under one building, two people sit near a doorway—one stands, the other squats. The walls look rough, and the street is uneven, with a dog or cat curled up in the dirt. The artist focused on everyday life, using quick lines to show light and shadow. This style was common in late 19th-century French art. Next, check out Realism to see how artists captured ordinary moments like this.
