Comme je vous ai dit vertement votre fait! is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows two men in long robes and hats, facing each other. They are standing on a tiled floor, and the wall behind them is plain. The man on the left is holding a small object in his hands, and the man on the right is looking at it. The men are dressed in formal attire, and their expressions suggest they are engaged in a serious conversation. The setting is simple, with no distractions from the interaction between the two figures. This painting is a great example of the work of Daumier, Honoré, a French artist known for his lithographs and his role in the Romanticism movement.
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.
