From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Francois, votre cousin le pompier est venu ... is a 1851 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Daumier’s lithograph shows a man in glasses leaning against a kitchen wall. His arms are crossed. A woman stirs a pot at a table. This isn’t just a quiet scene. It shows how people acted in 1851 France. Daumier often poked fun at society. Here, he highlights how men and women filled roles at home. Look up Daumier, Honoré next.
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.
