En v'la un qu'est un drole de corps ... is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows three country folks pointing at a painter at work. One man wears a big hat. Another points with a stick. Their faces twist with humor. Daumier loved to mock the art world. Here he pokes fun at outdoor painters. The sharp lines and cross-hatching make the joke even clearer. Look up lithography next to see how Daumier did it.
