Troupe en marche

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a framed artwork featuring two sketches of a marching troop. The left sketch is in black and white, while the right one is in pencil. The troop is led by a man carrying a large drum on his back, with a younger boy following closely behind him. The drum has a handle and appears to be quite large. The man wears a hat, a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and shoes. The boy wears a hat and has on a shirt and pants. The background of the left sketch shows a landscape with rolling hills and a few buildings in the distance. There are also other people in the background, some of whom are also carrying items. The right sketch is a pencil drawing of the same scene, but it is less detailed and more sketchy. The frame surrounding the artwork is light green with a thin black border. In the bottom-right corner of the frame, there is a small box with text that reads "Auguste Lepere" and some additional text underneath.
