1910
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Provins (Seine et Marne) is a 1910 ink by Auguste Lepère, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet town square with old stone buildings. One big house has a steep roof and a dark doorway. People sit on benches near a tree, talking. The ground looks wet, and the sky is light with some clouds. The artist used lines to show texture—like the rough walls and smooth roofs. The scene feels calm, like a moment frozen in time.
