1857
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Faut que je egardions comment qu'murit l'raisin ... is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men in a vineyard, one standing and one bent over, surrounded by grapevines. The men are depicted in a humorous way, showing the contrast between them. This contrast is what makes the scene interesting. It highlights the simple, everyday life of people working in a vineyard. This lithograph is a great example of Daumier's work, and to learn more, you can look into the technique of 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.
