ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Comment, madame ... J'ai l'imprudence ... is a 1856 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two people in a simple room, a man and a woman, talking. The man is dressed up and gesturing to the woman. He has big features and a fancy suit, which makes him look funny. The woman is wearing a long gown and looks serious. The man's exaggerated features make the scene feel awkward. This tells us about the people in the scene and how they interact.
