2 heures - Le gouter d'Azor is a 1839 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In the painting, two men are depicted in a scene, one of whom is holding a pear. The man on the left is dressed in a top hat and coat, while the man on the right wears a similar outfit. A dog is also present in the scene. The artist's use of lithography creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. The scene is set in a casual, everyday environment, with the men engaged in a quiet moment. This work is reminiscent of the style of Romanticism, which often emphasized the beauty of everyday life.
