Ah! Mon dieu on a mis le feu a la maison du voisin ... is a 1848 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man pulling back a curtain with a determined look, while a worried woman stands behind him. This scene shows a moment of tension. The man's expression and the woman's clasped hands tell us something is wrong. It's like a snapshot of a sudden problem. To learn more about this kind of artwork, look 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.
