André Rouveyre 1904

This 1904 portrait of André Rouveyre was drawn by Spanish artist Antonio de La Gándara. Rouveyre, a prominent figure in the French literary and artistic scene, is depicted in a seated pose, looking directly at the viewer with a contemplative expression. The artist utilizes a combination of detailed lines and subtle shading to capture the subject's features, particularly the prominent beard and the glint in his eye. The use of black ink on brown paper creates a sense of depth and texture, adding to the realism of the portrait. This work exemplifies La Gándara's mastery of portraiture and his ability to convey the personality of his subjects through his art.
