1851
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ce n'est pas encore cette fois-ci... is a 1851 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a big man in a puffy coat standing in front of a podium labeled *Banques des Ministres*. Behind him, three smaller men lean over the edge, looking shocked or angry. The big man has his hands on his hips, like he’s in charge or making a point. The drawing is simple but full of energy—lines are loose, and the faces look exaggerated. It’s like the artist wanted to show how these people act in a hurry. Next, look up *lithography* to see how this sketch 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.
