1854
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
A la mairie ... is a 1854 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see three people in a room: a man with curly hair, a woman in a headscarf, and another man holding a document. The scene is simple, but their expressions and interactions are interesting. The woman seems to be focused on something, while the men look concerned. This contrast makes you wonder what's happening. The simple setting lets you focus on the people, and that's similar to what you see when you look at work using the technique: 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.
