1918
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le Christ au matin de rameaux is a 1918 ink by Auguste Lepère, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet scene by water. A lone figure in robes stands near a tree, pointing toward a group gathered on the shore. Behind them, a town sits on a hill, with tiny people walking along the water’s edge. The artist used fine lines to show light and shadow, making the scene feel peaceful. The tree’s branches spread wide, almost like a frame for the whole picture. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this one create detailed prints.
