ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Au Havre is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a scene of people gathered around a man in a top hat, who appears to be speaking or performing. The man is standing in front of a table with a plate of food on it, and he is wearing a white shirt and striped pants. To his left, a woman is sitting at the table, looking at him with interest. In the background, there are several other people watching the scene unfold. The atmosphere of the image is one of curiosity and attention, as the people in the scene are all focused on the man in the top hat. The use of dark shading and bold lines adds to the sense of drama and energy in the image. For more information on the artist who created this lithograph, check out 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.
