Frédéric Mistral: Mémoires et Recits by Frédéric Mistral: bust of man with hat (page 23) is a 1937 by Auguste Brouet, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man’s face and shoulders, drawn in quick, scratchy lines. His hat sits low, shading his eyes. The paper has a rough, uneven texture, like pencil strokes were layered fast. The artist used simple lines to show light and shadow, not smooth shading. It feels more like a quick note than a polished portrait. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark for drama.
Auguste Brouet (1872–1941) was a French artist, born in Paris.
