Autre émotion maritime is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people on a rocky beach near the water. One person is standing, holding their hat like it’s about to fly away in the wind, while the other kneels beside them, looking down. The waves crash in the background, and the whole scene looks rough and windy. The text below jokes about losing a hat to the sea. This kind of humor was common in Daumier’s work, which often poked fun at everyday life. Next, check out lithography to see how this sketch was made.
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.
