Divertissement ... renouvelé des Grecs is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows people in and around water, with two figures submerged and others standing or sitting under a tree. The loose lines and wavy shapes create a sense of movement, like the scene is shifting. It's a pretty simple scene, but the way it's drawn makes it feel lively. To learn more about the method used to create this artwork, look into the technique: lithography.
