1850
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Actionnaires Californiens is a 1850 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men in old-fashioned coats walking and talking outside. One has his hands in his pockets, the other gestures with his hands. The background has a tree, a waterfall, and some hills—all drawn loosely. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and mood. This style was common in mid-1800s France. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
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.
