From the collection of National Gallery of Art
C'est bien agréable de jardiner is a 1865 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows two people in a garden, one with hands in pockets and the other holding a hat and shovel. The people in the painting have exaggerated faces, making it look like a cartoon. This style adds humor to the scene. The humorous take on gardening life is what makes this lithograph interesting. To learn more about the process used to create this work, look 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.
