Scène nocturne; patrouille à la lisière d'un bois

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white artwork of two panels. Left panel depicts a nighttime scene with a group of people, possibly soldiers, walking along the edge of a wooded area. The people are shown in dark silhouette against a lighter background. Trees and foliage are visible on the left side. The right panel shows a similar nighttime scene with people, possibly the same group, walking through a wooded area. The people are carrying long, thin objects, possibly rifles or spears. The artwork appears to be created with bold, expressive brushstrokes and dark, rich tones. The overall mood is one of mystery and tension.
