From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Dans cette réclame que vous allez envoyer ... is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a teacher in a classroom, gesturing with a bouquet of objects. The scene is dynamic and humorous, with French text adding to the story. The teacher's dramatic pose and the objects they hold make this work interesting, as it highlights the playfulness of education. You can learn more about this style by looking up 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.
