1851
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Air connu: Oh! Richard, Oh! Mon roi ... is a 1851 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows four people in funny clothes. They are moving around and talking to each other. One of them is holding a baton and looks important. These people are exaggerated, which makes the scene comedic. The artist drew them to show how people act in a silly way. The artist used a technique called lithography to create this image, which is on display at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and was made by an artist similar to Daumier, Honoré, but to learn more about the method used, look up 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.
