Ah! Saperlotte! ... Le raisin n'est pas bon cette année! ... is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a busy vineyard where workers pick grapes. A man in the center holds up a sour bunch with a funny face. Sharp lines and dark shadows make the scene feel real. Daumier loved poking fun at daily life. This print mocks how people complain about bad harvests. His work often appeared in newspapers first. Look up Daumier, Honoré to see more of his sharp, funny drawings.
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.
