Frédéric Mistral: Mémoires et Recits by Frédéric Mistral: bust of a woman (page 41) DUPLICATE is a 1937 by Auguste Brouet, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a close-up of a woman’s face, drawn in rough, dark lines. Her hair is pulled back, and her expression looks serious. The paper has a yellowish tint, almost like an old book page. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to capture her features. This style makes the drawing feel more like a note or study than a finished portrait. If you like this sketchy style, look up chiaroscuro next—it’s a technique that plays with light and shadow in drawings.
Auguste Brouet (1872–1941) was a French artist, born in Paris.
