Auguste Frédéric Dufaux the Younger was a Swiss painter and sculptor.
Auguste's father, painter and sculptor Frédéric Guillaume Dufaux (1820-1872), taught him to draw, then he entered the Geneva School of Fine Arts, continued his studies in Paris and Florence.
Dufaux painted lovely female portraits in genre and intimate scenes, children playing, and many depictions of nude women, often near water. He lived in Paris from 1876 to 1891 and participated in the Salon des Artistes Français. From his travels in Egypt and Algeria, Dufaux brought back paintings of local exotic subjects. Dufaux also worked on a panoramic painting of the French Army's entry into Le Verrière and executed several sculptures of famous personalities.
