Ah vous trouvez que mon dernier roman n'est pas tout a fait... is a 1844 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts two women in a room, one sitting and the other standing. The woman on the left is dressed in a long, dark dress with a light-colored apron, while the woman on the right wears a dark dress with a light-colored collar. Both women have dark hair styled in a bun. The scene appears to be set in a domestic interior, with a window and a wall visible in the background. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of quiet contemplation, with the two women lost in thought. The artist's use of lithography creates a sense of depth and texture, adding to the overall mood of the piece. For more on the artist's work, look up Daumier, Honoré.
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.
