La Carrière de grès

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white landscape drawing of a rocky quarry scene. A large, dark cliff face dominates the right side. In the foreground, workers in hats and long-sleeved clothing are engaged in quarrying activities. One worker sits on a stone block, another is in front of them on the ground, and a third worker stands on the right. A wooden beam runs across the quarry on the left. Vegetation grows on the left side. The artist's signature and "28/35" are in the bottom-right corner. The drawing is on textured, beige paper with a thick border.
