Jacques Villon
French · b. 1875

Villon was a master French printmaker whose etchings captured figurative scenes with dynamic, expressive linework in black and white. His prints share Brouet's narrative quality and technical precision in depicting everyday French life and cultural subjects.

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen
Swiss-French · b. 1859

Steinlen created energetic black and white figurative prints celebrating working class and folk life in France, with bold expressive lines that closely mirror Brouet's approach to capturing musical and cultural scenes. His printmaking tradition of illustrating vivid narrative moments in French popular life aligns directly with this piece.

Félix Vallotton
Swiss-French · b. 1865

Vallotton produced striking black and white figurative prints with strong narrative content and a modernist sensibility rooted in French cultural life. His printmaking similarly uses bold linework to convey character and scene in a compressed, illustrative format reminiscent of Brouet's folk portrait approach.
