1937
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Frédéric Mistral: Mémoires et Recits by Frédéric Mistral: city street scene/ fountain (insert after p. 120) is a 1937 by Auguste Brouet, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image shows a sketch of a city street scene with a fountain. The top half of the sketch depicts a city street with tall buildings and bare trees lining the sidewalk. People in old-fashioned clothing are walking down the street. The bottom half of the sketch shows a closer view of the fountain, which is round and has a statue in the middle. The sketch is done in black and white, with a lot of detail in the buildings and trees. The people in the street are shown in various poses, some walking and others standing still. The fountain is also detailed, with water flowing from the statue. The sketch appears to be from the early 20th century, based on the style of the buildings and clothing. It's a charming depiction of a city street scene. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up chiaroscuro.
Auguste Brouet (1872–1941) was a French artist, born in Paris.
