1845
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Comment trouvez-vous ce petit vin-la... is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, depicting Drinking, held at National Gallery of Art.
Honoré Daumier’s lithograph shows an old man in a cap sniffing a tiny wine glass. It’s from 1845 but feels fresh—Daumier caught how people judge wine with just their face. Look at his sharp lines. They make the wrinkles and shadows pop. The print started in a newspaper. People read it like gossip before it became art. Find the real thing at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
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.
