1840
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ah! monstre, vous vous permettez... is a 1840 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people in a simple room. The man on the left is older, wearing a long coat and holding a cane. His face looks angry, and he’s pointing at the smaller kid next to him. The kid stands quietly, dressed in plain clothes, with bare feet. The title at the bottom is in French, and it sounds like the man is scolding the kid. The drawing is hand-signed by the artist. 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.
