The Pit

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a man working outdoors. The man is sitting on a stone wall, holding a long tool. He is wearing a hat and a light-colored shirt. A large tree with dense foliage dominates the right side. A small wooden boat-like object sits on the ground in front of him. A jug sits on the ground to his right. In the background, to the left, is a building with a sloping roof and a fenced area. A few chickens are on the left side. The artwork is signed "A. Lepère" in the bottom-left corner. The overall scene depicts a rural setting.
