Elle a encore ... une jolie taille Madame Coquardeau! is a 1847 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows three people moving around each other. It's a scene that feels lively and dynamic. The artist drew them with simple lines and shading, focusing on what they're wearing. This tells us about the social rules of the time. The scene looks like it's from everyday life, but it also seems to be commenting on the people in it. To learn more about this style of printmaking, 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.
