The Paul Prouté gallery was founded almost 150 years ago and has been located on rue de Seine in the heart of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés since 1920. The current owners are the fourth generation of art dealers.
Through the publication of two catalogues per year (in June and December), it offers a wide choice of drawings and prints from the 16th century to the present day, original works by artists such as Dürer, Rembrandt, Goya, Whistler, Vallotton, Picasso, Matisse, Debré, Delaunay, Asse, Soulages. In addition, the gallery regularly publishes thematic or monographic catalogues (Architecture et Ornement in 2014, Louis XIV in 2015, Portrait d'artiste in 2020, Jean-Baptiste Sécheret in 2021 ...).
The quality and authenticity of the works are the main criteria defended by the gallery, which counts among its many clients the greatest French and international institutions as well as enlightened and passionate amateurs and collectors.
In addition to the Fine Arts Paris & La Biennale, Galerie Prouté is a founding member of the prestigious Salon du Dessin held each year at the Palais Brongniart (Paris).

Dear visitors,
Due to the gravity of the international situation resulting from the spread of COVID-19 and in order to protect the health of all parties concerned, we have decided to cancel the 29th edition of the Salon du dessin.
France officially declared a state of health emergency on 24 March for two months and there are still numerous uncertainties regarding the evolution of the pandemic over the coming months. These factors make it impossible to reprogram the Salon before the summer of 2020 and the Salon du dessin, which usually attracts numerous other events in Paris for a week, will therefore not take place this year.
Louis de Bayser, President of the Salon du dessin said “this is a difficult decision to take with regard to all those who worked hard for this edition, but our priority is to protect the health of all our exhibitors, visitors and partners”.
We send our thoughts to all those affected by this epidemic and hope that this unprecedented health situation will quickly change favorably.
