1855
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Dire que peut-être j'en serai réduit ... is a 1855 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a hunched man in dark clothes holding a top hat. His bent posture and focused gaze suggest tiredness or worry. A single light spot on his hat catches the eye. Daumier often used this dry, sharp method to mock society’s flaws. His prints felt like quick, honest snapshots of real life. Check out more Daumier, Honoré if you like this sharp, witty style.
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.
