Etude de révérence pour le quadrille des lanciers is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a woman in a fancy dress curtsying to an older man. She's in a nice room with fancy things around her. The woman is very elegant and polite, which was important back then. The scene is interesting because it shows how people interacted with each other in a formal setting. To learn more about the method 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.
