1848
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Et plus un grain de poudre! ... is a 1848 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man standing alone, looking at his hand. He's dressed in a textured jacket and cap, and has a rifle and cup with him. The man's expression is thoughtful, and the simple background helps us focus on him. The artist used simple lines and shapes to create a sense of calm. The man's pose and facial expression suggest he's deep in thought. To learn more about this style, 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.
