"La Tireuse de Cartes" (The Card Reader) is an etching by the French artist Auguste Brouet (1872–1941), who was renowned for his depictions of Parisian street life and marginalized communities in the early 20th century. Brouet's work often reflects the influence of the social realist movement, capturing the daily lives of the working class, the poor, and the bohemian sectors of Paris with empathy and a keen eye for detail.

Created in the early 1900s, "La Tireuse de Cartes" is emblematic of Brouet's artistic oeuvre, which includes a series of etchings and prints that explore the human condition through the lens of the less fortunate. The etching portrays a female fortune teller, or card reader, engaged in the act of divination using tarot cards or a similar deck. This subject is reflective of the period's fascination with the occult and the search for meaning beyond the visible, material world.

The composition of "La Tireuse de Cartes" is characterized by Brouet's delicate line work and attention to the subtleties of human expression. The card reader's face may convey a sense of concentration or inscrutability, inviting viewers to ponder the authenticity of her craft and the hopes or desperation of those who seek her services. The setting is typically intimate, suggesting a private encounter in which secrets and futures are revealed.

As with many of Brouet's prints, "La Tireuse de Cartes" would have been created through a meticulous printmaking process, which involves etching the image onto a metal plate, inking the plate, and then pressing it onto paper to produce the final image. This technique allowed Brouet to achieve a high level of detail and tonal variation, which contributes to the atmospheric quality of his works.

"La Tireuse de Cartes" is not only a work of art but also a historical document that offers insight into the cultural milieu of Paris during the Belle Époque and the interwar period. It reflects the social dynamics and the popular interests of the time, as well as the artistic trends that influenced Brouet and his contemporaries.

Auguste Brouet's etchings, including "La Tireuse de Cartes," are held in various art collections and have been exhibited in galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of the period's graphic arts and the broader narrative of French art history.
