En train de ...confectionner quelques is a 1854 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a person sitting and sewing with a needle and thread. The person is surrounded by things hanging in the background. This scene is interesting because it shows a quiet moment from everyday life, and the artist paid attention to the details of the scene. You can learn more about this kind of artwork by looking into 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.
