1856
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ayant eu ... l'idée d'aller ... is a 1856 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two people sitting and talking in this lithograph. They're in a room with a window behind them. The window shows a stormy landscape outside. Their conversation seems serious. The artist drew them in a simple, shaded style. This style makes the scene feel quiet and intimate. The storm outside might show that their conversation is tense. 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.
