Au bord de la Seine

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of two people in a small boat on a river. The boat is dark-colored, with a flat bottom and slightly curved sides. It has a small sail that is not being used, standing upright at the back of the boat. The person on the left side of the boat is wearing a hat and a long-sleeved shirt. They are holding an oar in both hands. The person on the right side of the boat is also wearing a hat and a long-sleeved shirt. The river is calm, reflecting the sky and the boat. In the background, there are trees and buildings along the riverbank. The sky is cloudy. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner. The overall atmosphere suggests a serene and peaceful scene. The title of the piece is "Au bord de la Seine" and it is by Auguste Louis Lepère.
