Allons bon ... c'est encore mon chien ... is a 1865 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, depicting hunting, held at National Gallery of Art.
A hunter in old clothes stands over his dog, who lies on its back with legs up. The dog looks limp and silly. The man’s face shows a mix of frustration and softness. Daumier loved poking fun at daily life. He often drew regular people in odd moments. This print feels like a quick sketch but is full of quiet humor. Look up lithography if you want to see how this print was made.
