About this work

Auguste Brouet shows a man standing in a rocky landscape holding a dead bird. The man wears simple clothes and a hat. A tall stone tower rises behind him in the distance. The tower looks old and quiet. Mistral was a poet who won a Nobel Prize. Brouet made many prints like this one. This style feels close to Rembrandt’s etchings.
