Auguste Lepère

Auguste Lepère

Artist, French, 1849 - 1918

The image shows a scene with a towering cathedral on the right. The architecture obscures the horizon against a dynamic cloud-filled sky. The etching has detailed lines and textures in a monochromatic palette of black and gray. Figures and animals are near the water's edge, with a bridge in the distance. The image juxtaposes the cathedral's grand scale with activity by the river.
