1840
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Eh bonjour! enchanté de vous rencontrer... is a 1840 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men in a room holding hands. One has long hair and a beard, the other is older with a bald head and a mustache. They’re both shirtless, and the room looks like a studio with half-finished statues in the background. The floor is messy with tools and scraps. The title is written in French at the bottom, and the artist signed it in the corner. The style is loose and quick, like a sketch rather than a polished drawing. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
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.
