The printmaker Auguste Lepère is credited with reviving the woodcut at a time when it had fallen out of popularity in late 19th-century France. Lepère carefully sketched each aspect of his compositions—which often depicted Parisian life—before translating them to print. The young girl seen in this drawing figured in the foreground of an image depicting the Tuileries garden on a clear autumn day.
