La grève désertée

Gustave Leheutre

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image, titled "La grève désertée" by Gustave Leheutre, depicts a black and white sketch of a river scene. The river occupies the right two-thirds of the image. A curved concrete wall lines the left side of the river, with a low wall behind it. On the left side of the image, a woman and child stand on a walkway in front of the wall. A tree and a short building with a chimney are behind the wall. A bridge spans the river in the background, with trees on the far side. The sky is light with some clouds. The image is drawn on a rectangular piece of paper with a rough texture, and the artist's signature is visible in the bottom-left corner.
