1848
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Désolé, citoyenne... je ne reçois pas de chiens... is a 1848 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this lithograph, a woman stands on a cobblestone street, holding a small dog. She is dressed in a long, dark coat and a headscarf, and appears to be speaking to a man who is standing in the doorway of a carriage. The man is wearing a hat and a long coat, and is holding the door of the carriage open. The scene is set against a backdrop of tall buildings, and the overall atmosphere is one of quiet conversation. The woman's expression is serious, while the man's is more relaxed. This lithograph is a great example of the work of Daumier, Honoré, a French artist known for his Romanticism.
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.
