From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Bavant pour se desennuyer is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, depicting Drinking, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows two different scenes: a busy café and a quiet fountain scene. The café scene is lively, with people being served by a waiter. It's interesting that the artist chose to contrast these two scenes, showing how people and animals spend their time. This contrast highlights the differences between human leisure and nature's simplicity. To learn more about the artist who created this work, look up 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.
