Grevedon

Grevedon is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Pierre Louis Grevedon had a habit of slipping into the back rows at Paris salons, sketching portraits on scraps of paper while the crowd buzzed in front. The man could capture a face in under an hour—less about detail, more about catching the exact tilt of a hat or the wrinkle between someone’s brows. Head to the Louvre and hunt down his *Untitled (15 April 1831)*; it’s not a grand history painting, just a quick print, but it’s the kind of thing that makes you wonder what the rest of the day looked like for that woman in the bonnet.
