Le gamin a l'orset

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a pencil drawing of a young girl in a black dress sitting on the floor. The girl has light-colored hair in pigtails. She wears a long-sleeved black dress and shoes. She sits on the floor with her knees bent up, and her arms are crossed. To her left is a small wooden table with a cylindrical container on top. The background of the drawing appears to be a plain surface, possibly paper or canvas. The drawing is rendered in shades of gray, with darker shading used to create depth and texture. The artist's signature and the year "78" are visible at the bottom of the drawing. The title of the piece is "Le gamin a l'orset" and it is attributed to Auguste Louis Lepère.
