Mitrailleurs anglais

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white artwork of three panels. The left and right panels are identical in content and nearly identical in appearance. They depict a scene with two soldiers wearing caps and uniforms, positioned behind a machine gun on a mount. The soldiers are behind a mound covered in grass; one soldier has a weapon slung over their shoulder. The scene appears to depict a war setting with a body of water and land across it in the background. The artwork uses bold lines to create contrast. A thin border surrounds the panels. The right panel has a signature in the bottom-left corner, and a number 3/8 in the bottom-right corner. The central panel is a pencil sketch of a similar scene with one soldier handling a large gun. The artwork has a lighter appearance with less contrast. The panels appear to be slightly yellowed with age. The title is "Mitrailleurs anglais" and the artist is Auguste Louis Lepère.
