Seascape

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a seascape with a dark sea and a stormy sky. The sea fills the bottom fifth of the image, appearing dark and flat. A small, dark shape, possibly a boat, is visible on the left side. The sky occupies the rest of the image, with dense, dark clouds on the right and lighter, more turbulent clouds on the left. The clouds are depicted in various shades of gray, with diagonal lines suggesting movement and wind. The entire image is rendered in a range of grays, with a light-colored border around the edges, suggesting the texture of the paper. The artist's signature, "A. Lepère", is in the bottom-left corner.
