From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Route from La Houssoye, Crevecoeur-le-Grand (Route de La Houssoye, Crevecoeur) is a 1913 ink by Auguste Lepère, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet country road winding through a wooded area. Trees line both sides, their branches tangled and dark against a pale sky. The path curves gently, leading the eye deeper into the scene, with a few small buildings hidden in the distance. The artist used fine lines to create texture, making the trees look almost like brushstrokes. The road’s surface is rough, adding depth to the landscape. Want to see more prints like this?
