5 heures du soir is a 1839 crayon by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a scene of chaos, with two men in the foreground. One man is standing, holding a table, while the other is seated, gesturing with his hands. The table appears to be broken, with pieces scattered around it. In the background, a woman stands, observing the commotion. The overall atmosphere is one of disorder and upheaval. A notable detail in the image is the presence of a dog, which adds to the sense of chaos and energy. The use of dark, muted colors contributes to the overall mood of the scene. The image is a lithograph, created by Honoré Daumier, an artist associated with the Romanticism movement.
Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
