1855
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
A Naples: Délégués de la commission ... is a 1855 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men in the foreground, one leaning against a wall and the other standing upright, both gripping sticks. The scene in the background shows two figures dragging another person, set against buildings and a mountain. This artwork has a lot to say about the social issues of the time. It's similar to work done 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.
