From the collection of National Gallery of Art
A Flourens, la jeunesse reconnaissante! is a 1855 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a stone bust on a pedestal with two figures reacting to it. The figures are dressed in everyday clothes, which makes the scene feel more realistic. Their reactions seem humorous and poignant at the same time, which suggests the artist is making a point about something. You can learn more about the artist's style and method by looking into lithography.
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.
