Gazan is a 1835 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man sitting on a stool, wearing a dark jacket and pants. He has a large belly and is leaning forward, resting his head on his left hand. His right hand is clenched into a fist, and his face is contorted in a scowl. The man's posture and facial expression convey a sense of discomfort and frustration. The dark colors used in the painting add to the overall somber mood. This painting is characteristic of the work of Daumier, Honoré, who was a prominent figure in the Romanticism movement.
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.
