ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
En ballon captif is a 1867 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men in a hot air balloon basket, looking through telescopes in opposite directions. They're dressed in mid-19th-century clothes, which is interesting because it shows what people wore back then. The details in their clothes and the basket are pretty intricate, which suggests the artist put a lot of thought into this scene. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré.
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.
