ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
C'est tout d'même flatteur d'avoir is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man and woman standing close together in this lithograph. They're engaged in an intimate pose, with the man holding a gloved hand. The couple is framed by a gallery of portraits, which adds to the scene. The portraits surrounding them suggest themes of identity and societal roles. This detail makes the work interesting, as it comments on 19th-century France. To learn more about the method used to create this work, 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.
