Jean Sorieul, 1823-1871
A biography of the Rouen painter and printmaker Jean Sorieul (1823-1871), written by Jules Hédou and published in Rouen in 1882 by Librairie ancienne et moderne de E. Augé for an audience of art readers. The pictures are loose pen-and-ink sketches of soldiers, crowds and smoky battle scenes, showing a designer quick, economical linework that suggests movement and crowd density without full modelling.
