Signed, matted, and framed antique etching "La Femme au Chien" by French artist Auguste Brouet. Numbered "61/100". Set in a black wood frame. Auguste Brouet was of the finest original etchers of early 20th-century French art. Born in Paris (Montmartre) in 1872. He created over 300 drypoints and etchings during his career. Brouet was first apprenticed to a lithographer and then a lute maker, taking classes at the École des Beaux-Arts as time and money became more readily available to him. Fellow printer, Auguste Delâtre introduced Brouet to etching and his first original etching dates from just after 1900. Many of Brouet’s works deal with the poor and working classes of Paris and the surrounding countryside.
