[Peasants by a Dock, Paris]

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sepia-toned drawing of people near a body of water. The scene shows a group of 5 people in the foreground, on the left and bottom right, dressed in darker clothing. One person on the left holds a sack on their back and another has a sack on the ground beside them. In the background, there is a body of water with boats on it and several buildings along the shore. The buildings are drawn in a lighter orange-brown color than the rest of the image. The drawing is bordered by a thin line and surrounded by a beige border. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner. The overall scene appears to be a dock or harbor area.
