To Bellot 1915

"To Bellot," an etching by Auguste-Louis Lepère, depicts a rural scene in France. Created in 1915, the artwork features a winding pathway leading towards a house in the distance. The artist uses a delicate line to capture the details of the landscape, including trees, grass, and the rustic architecture. The work exemplifies Lepère's mastery of etching, a technique that allowed him to create subtle variations in tone and texture. It's a fine example of his focus on the landscape and his dedication to capturing the beauty of everyday life in his native country. The etching, now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection, showcases Lepère's skill in conveying the tranquility and simplicity of the French countryside.
