ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Est-ce le garçon? is a 1855 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a lively restaurant scene with two people seated at a table. The standing figure next to them is formally dressed. This detail makes the scene interesting because it shows a contrast between the formal and informal. The contrast adds to the humor in the scene. The sketchy lines and simple colors make it feel dynamic. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré to see more of this style.
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.
