1840
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Bien venu qui apporte is a 1840 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a portly man standing on a doorstep, looking at a partially opened door with a figure peeking out. This scene is interesting because it tells us about the man's personality. He seems excited or nervous, and his posture and clothes give us clues about who he might be. You can learn more about this style by looking into 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.
