LEPERE Auguste-Louis (Paris 1849 † Domme 1918) - "Dimanche aux fortifs". 1898. Original wood, printed in six colours. Ref: Lotz-Brissonneau, n°506. Vital, n°165. Signed in the lower right-hand plate. Nice proof of an intermediate state (the wood reduced, the woman in the upper right corner turns her face to the left), on wove paper. Margins. 27 x 33.3 [34 x 40]. This work is a beautiful combination of traditional illustration and Japanese influence.
