Provins 1910

"Provins," a 1910 etching by French artist Auguste-Louis Lepère, depicts a charming street scene in the medieval town of Provins, France. Lepère, known for his detailed and evocative cityscapes, captures the town's unique architecture and atmosphere through the use of delicate lines and tonal contrasts. The central building, with its steep roof and arched entrance, dominates the composition and draws the viewer's eye through the bustling street. The etching’s realistic depiction of the buildings and figures create a sense of depth and immediacy, transporting viewers to the heart of this historic French town. "Provins" is a fine example of Lepère’s signature style and a testament to his talent for capturing the beauty and character of urban landscapes.
