From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Comte d'Argout is a 1832 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph portrait depicts a man with a prominent nose and chin, wearing a dark jacket over a white cravat. His face is turned to the left, and he appears to be looking at something in the distance. The background of the portrait is a light color, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The artist's use of shading and texture adds depth and dimension to the portrait, giving the subject a sense of volume and presence. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought.
