1839
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Dire que ça si dandine avec un petit air... is a 1839 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man and a woman walking together, with a child turning away from them. They're dressed in old-fashioned clothes, like a top hat and a bonnet. The woman and man are close, but the child's back is turned, which adds an interesting layer to the scene. The child's pose makes you wonder what's going on. To learn more about this kind of print, 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.
