1849
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
C'est pourtant la que j'ai gravé mon chiffre ... is a 1849 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a man in profile looking up at a tree. He's lost in thought, and the tree is simplified, not detailed. The man's expression is calm, and the background is plain. This lithograph is interesting because it has a simple composition. The focus is on the man's quiet moment. To learn more about this style, 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.
