The Lock of the St. Martin Canal

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of a scene under a bridge. The bridge has a curved arch and appears to be made of metal. There are people on the bridge and on the ground below it. In the foreground, two men are shown lifting or moving something in the water. The men are dressed in clothing typical of the late 19th or early 20th century. The background shows a cityscape with several buildings, one of which has a tall chimney emitting smoke. The sky appears cloudy. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom of the image.
