Amateurs classiques convaincus is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a group of people in formal dress looking at artwork in a gallery. They have different expressions and are interacting with each other. The lithograph shows how people reacted to art in the 1800s, with an inscription that says "LE PUBLIC DU SALON", which suggests the artist was commenting on the public's engagement with art. You can learn more about this style by looking at 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.
