1846
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Avantages des terrasses italiennes... is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three people sitting outside near a small building. The man on the left looks annoyed, holding a pipe while the woman beside him reads a paper. A child stands, waving a hat in the air. Birds fly overhead, and the scene is drawn in loose, sketchy lines. The title at the top calls it "Pastorales," but the caption below jokes about Italians enjoying fresh air with French relatives. The artist signed it with initials. 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.
