Fallait pas me tutoyer, j'suis dans... is a 1843 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a scene of three men on a cobblestone street. One man is standing, looking at the other two, who are on the ground. The man on the ground is holding his hat and appears to be in a scuffle with the other man, who is kneeling over him. The scene is depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the clothing and facial expressions of the men. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and drama in the scene. The painting is reminiscent of the work of 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.
