Faudra que je vous fasse faire un jour... is a 1848 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man sitting on a stool, intently working on a sculpture. He is dressed in a white shirt and dark pants, with his dark hair neatly styled. The man's focus is on the sculpture, which appears to be a human figure. In the background, there are various objects and tools scattered around the room, including a table with a vase on it. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet concentration, with the man fully absorbed in his work. The painting is a lithograph, which gives it a unique texture and quality. To learn more about the artist's use of lithography, explore the technique further.
