Fonctionnaires ... veillant au salut de l'empire! ... is a 1859 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows three people in fancy clothes, leaning forward with big expressions on their faces. They look like they're discussing something important. The details in their clothes and faces are drawn with intricate lines and shading, which adds to the scene's interest - the artist used simple colors to focus on the people. You can learn more about the artist who created this, 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.
