Frédéric Mistral: Mémoires et Recits by Frédéric Mistral: still life (page 197) is a 1937 by Auguste Brouet, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a mountain climb at dawn. A group of hikers with backpacks and walking sticks move along a rocky path. The sun rises behind snow-capped peaks, casting long shadows. Below, clouds hug the valleys while the mountain’s dark shape stretches across the landscape. The artist focused on the quiet drama of early light—how it turns the Alps into glowing cinder and stretches the mountain’s shadow far below. The text beside it says this comes from a book about climbing Mont Ventoux in France. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
Auguste Brouet (1872–1941) was a French artist, born in Paris.
