1937
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Frédéric Mistral: Mémoires et Recits by Frédéric Mistral: figures at outdoor table/ man playing drum and bust of a woman (insert after p. 136) is a 1937 by Auguste Brouet, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy street scene with people gathered around a table where someone is playing a drum. A group sits on benches, chatting or watching the music. Down below, two smaller drawings show a man carrying a basket and a woman’s portrait. The buildings look old, with shutters and trees lining the street. The artist included a quiet detail: the woman’s portrait at the bottom feels separate, like a private moment in a public scene. The drum player seems to be the center of attention, while the crowd watches from a distance. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
Auguste Brouet (1872–1941) was a French artist, born in Paris.
