From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Bonsoir chérie...si ton épicier nous voyait... is a 1842 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a couple sharing a kiss in this lithograph. The man is bending towards the woman, who is leaning back. This scene is interesting because it shows a private moment in a public setting, with someone watching from a window above, which adds a layer of complexity to the scene. To learn more about this style of printmaking, 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.
