1847
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Brigand de propriétaire... is a 1847 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a tense scene under a dark, curved roof. A hooded figure kneels on the left, holding a knife, while two people lie on a bed to the right—one clutching a small child. The room looks dim and cluttered, with a few scattered objects on the floor. The artist used quick, rough lines to show urgency and fear, focusing on the hooded figure’s raised arm. This style was common in political or social critiques of the time. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
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.
