Devant le tableau de M. G. Moreau is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see four people standing in front of a painting, looking at it carefully. They seem to be discussing the artwork, and each person has a unique expression. The people in the scene are from different social classes, which is interesting because it shows that art was for everyone in 19th century France. You can learn more about this kind of artwork by looking into 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.
