From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ayant trop fêté la Saint-Hubert is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows two men stumbling in a drunken dance. Their round bellies and flushed faces pop against the soft background. Daumier loved to poke fun at human flaws. He made this for a Parisian magazine that mocked the rich and powerful. The artist lived through rough times but always found humor in everyday life. Check out more by 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.
