Vue de Marlotte 1848

Emile Aubert Lessore's "Vue de Marlotte" (1848) is a brown ink drawing of a rural scene in Marlotte, France. It depicts a humble, thatch-roofed dwelling with a partially obscured view of the adjacent building. The work's loose, gestural lines create a sense of immediacy and the artist's keen eye for detail is apparent in the depiction of the thatch roof and the weathered walls. This drawing is characteristic of Lessore's landscape and architectural studies, which often focused on capturing the essence of everyday life in rural France.
