A.P.F. Deslongrais is a 1849 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a dark coat and light shirt, holding a walking stick in one hand. Behind him, a table holds a bottle and a glass. His hair is curly and messy, and he looks serious. The drawing is rough but full of personality. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture his face and clothes. This style makes the portrait feel alive, even though it’s just pencil and paper. Next, check out lithography to see how artists like this made prints.
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.
