1844
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Allons! ... On n'a pas encore rendu compte de mon roman ... is a 1844 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a group of people sitting at a table, one of them reading a book with a veiled face and round spectacles. This scene shows people interacting with each other, but the reader seems isolated. The artist used simple lines and shapes to show the contrast between the reader and the others. To learn more about this style, look into the technique: 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.
