1858
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Allons, v'la encore le mouton qui a haussé is a 1858 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a butcher shop packed with meat. Two men stand out. One waves a flag. The other holds meat on a pole. Rough lines make it feel quick and alive. Daumier used lithography here. It prints fast, like a newspaper. This one feels hand-drawn, not perfect. The shop looks messy on purpose. Want to see more like this? Try 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.
