Facheux résultat... de la viande de cheval is a 1856 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In the painting, three men are depicted in a dynamic scene. The man on the left is shown with his right leg raised, while the man in the middle is on all fours, and the man on the right is standing with his hands on his hips. The men are dressed in dark attire, with the man on the left wearing a top hat and the man on the right sporting a tall hat. The scene is set against a light-colored background, which provides a striking contrast to the dark clothing of the men. The overall mood of the painting appears to be one of chaos and disorder. This painting is a great example of the work of artist Daumier, Honoré.
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.
