Patrouilleurs

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a framed artwork titled "Patrouilleurs" by Auguste Louis Lepère. The frame has a light green border with a thin black line around the edge. Inside the frame, there are three artworks. The top artwork is a pencil sketch on beige paper, showing a ship at sea with smoke billowing from it. The ship is drawn in a rough, sketchy style, with visible pencil marks. Below the sketch are two identical black and white illustrations, side by side. Each illustration shows a ship struggling in rough seas, with dark smoke coming from the ship on the left and a shipwreck in the foreground. The illustrations are in a more detailed and refined style compared to the sketch. The background of the frame is white, providing contrast to the artworks. The frame has a small label in the bottom-right corner with the artist's name and title.
