FROM THE CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF ART’S CATALOG

Auguste Allongé was known for the complex charcoal techniques used in this drawing, and in fact derived a large part of his fame from Le Fusain , a manual for drawing with charcoal published in 1873 and translated into several languages over the following decade.
