1842
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Attention, Gargouillet, v'la le bourgeois qui passe... is a 1842 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, depicting Bathing, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man in a top hat walking down the street. He's being pointed at by someone in the background. The interesting thing about this work is that it comments on social class, with the "bourgeois" being mocked. The man pointing is likely a worker or someone from a lower social class. This difference in social status is what makes the scene notable. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré for more like this.
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.
