1841
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ah! Fouchtrra! ... Ma femme ... is a 1841 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man and a woman talking near some wooden barrels. The man is wearing ragged clothes, while the woman has a nice dress on. This scene is interesting because it shows how people from different backgrounds interact. The artist used simple lines and shapes to convey movement and texture. You can learn more about this style by looking into 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.
