Emotions Parisiennes: Une Victime des Factions is a 1842 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a man in a military-style hat and coat, holding a long pole or rifle. He stands in the rain, his face contorted in a mixture of pain and determination. The man's clothing and the hat suggest a historical or military context, but the exact setting is unclear. The artist's use of bold lines and expressive facial features adds to the emotional impact of the scene. The image is a lithograph, a type of printmaking that involves drawing on stone. To learn more about this technique, look up 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.
