Artist
A. Collette
A. Collette is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A. Collette had a thing for beards. Not the fancy kind, but the real, scraggly, lived-in ones. In the 1840s, they turned that obsession into prints, sharp little portraits of men’s facial hair that double as social satire.
You’ll find their work in the H Beard Print Collection, like the 1849 piece where a bushy beard takes up half the page, smirking at the viewer. If you like odd corners of art history, tap into their prints; it’s beard appreciation with a wink.
