This etching by Auguste Brouet appears as an illustration within Frédéric Mistral's autobiographical work, depicting a delicate bust of a woman rendered with the precise linear qualities characteristic of the etching medium. Brouet employs fine cross hatching and careful line work to model the form and suggest the softness of the subject's features and hair. The intimate scale and placement within the literary text suggests the illustration functioned both as a decorative element and a visual complement to Mistral's narrative.
