1839
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
7 heures du matin is a 1839 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men in a dimly lit room. One is sitting on a chair, looking tired, while the other stands over him, holding a tray and smiling. The standing man wears a tall hat and a loose coat, and the room has a stove and a few scattered items on the floor. The title at the bottom says "7 heures du matin," which means "7 a.m." The scene looks like a morning visit, maybe a joke or a wake-up call. Next, check out lithography—this picture was made using that printing method.
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.
