The River Porter, Monday

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sepia-toned drawing titled "The River Porter, Monday" by Auguste Louis Lepère. The scene shows people sitting on a riverbank, with a body of water and several boats behind them. In the background, buildings line the opposite bank of the river. The people on the riverbank are dressed in dark clothing and some appear to be resting or sitting in a group. A pile of what looks like produce sits on the ground near the people. Several boats are on the water, with one boat having a person rowing. The sky appears hazy, with some clouds visible. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner.
