1875
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Types Mauresques is a 1875 by Norbert Goeneutte, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man in loose, draped clothing, standing with his hands resting on a low table. His head is wrapped in a turban, and his face has a serious, slightly tired look. The background is filled with quick, crisscrossed lines that make it look rough and textured. The title *Types Mauresques* suggests this might be part of a series studying different cultural styles. The artist used heavy shading to give the figure depth, making the folds in his clothes stand out sharply. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this technique works in other art.
Norbert Goeneutte (23 July 1854 – 9 October 1894) was a French painter, etcher and illustrator; notably for the novel La Terre by Émile Zola.
