1844
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Approchez M. Gérenflot ... venez recevoir ... is a 1844 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men in a formal setting, one standing on a step and extending a small crown to the other, who is bowing. This scene is interesting because it shows a moment of social interaction. The man on the step seems to be in a position of power, and the other man is showing respect. This contrast between the two men makes you wonder what's happening.

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.
