Garçon, qu'est-ce que c'est que ça?... is a 1841 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows two figures in a tense moment. The man on the left holds a plate and looks angry. He's talking to a seated person who seems upset. The conversation looks intense, and it's not clear what's happening, but it seems like they're disagreeing about something. To learn more about this kind of scene, look into the technique: 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.
