1854
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
En valachie is a 1854 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows two men walking together, one with a bagpipe and the other with a bag and a crucifix. They have funny, exaggerated faces. You can see a simple church in the background. Their faces and clothes look like caricatures, which was typical of the artist's style. The combination of humor and cultural symbols makes this work interesting. To learn more about the process used to create this image, 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.
