Ciel!...je trouve ma femme déménagée! is a 1842 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A man stands frozen in a doorway. His mouth is open. His arms lift, as if to push back the shock. One hand still holds his hat. This is a lithograph by Daumier. He used this printing method to make images cheap and fast. It let him comment on daily life without fancy paint. Check out more by Daumier, Honoré.
