ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Athalie is a 1851 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see three people in dramatic poses, with big emotions on their faces. They're wearing loose, robe-like clothes against a dark background. The way they're standing and looking at each other tells a story of surprise. Their faces show a lot of feeling, which is interesting because it's hard to do that in a simple picture. The artist used simple lines and shapes to show what's happening. Check out the work of artist: 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.
