1846
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Aux Champs-Elysées is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows an elderly man and a woman sitting at a table. The woman is holding a guitar. The scene looks happy and relaxed, with the two enjoying music together. The artist used simple lines and shades to create this moment. It's interesting because the artist focused on the people, not the surroundings. The details are subtle, but they add to the cozy feeling. To learn more about this style, look up the technique: lithography.
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.
