Termonde

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a cityscape with buildings on fire. The cityscape is drawn in black and brown lines on a beige background. The buildings are multi-story, with steeply pitched roofs and chimneys emitting smoke. Some buildings are engulfed in flames, with large plumes of smoke rising into the air. In the foreground, a group of people are gathered, some on horseback and some on foot. They appear to be soldiers or military personnel, armed with weapons. The overall atmosphere suggests a scene of destruction and chaos. The artist's signature "Termonde" and the year "15" are visible in the bottom-right corner.
