1855
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
De l'inconvénient d'aimer a la fois ... is a 1855 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a chaotic scene with a dog jumping off a table, knocking over a pot, and a cat running away. The woman in the scene looks startled, with her hands up, and there are framed artworks on the walls. This adds to the humor and disorder in the scene, which seems to be commenting on everyday life. To learn more about the artist who created this scene, look 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.
