From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Commencant a trouver que l'impèriale ... is a 1858 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see three people huddled together on a bus roof in the rain. Their faces and bodies show they're not happy about the situation. The rain adds to the drama. This scene is similar to others that explore everyday life, and to learn more, you can look into the work of another artist, but for now, check out 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.
