Guide, allons-nous-en... au nom du ciel... is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a lithograph titled "Guide, allons-nous-en... au nom du ciel..." by Honoré Daumier. It features two men, one guiding the other up a rocky path. The guide, dressed in a long coat and hat, holds a staff and gestures upward. The other man, wearing a hat and holding a cane, looks up at the guide with a mixture of fear and determination. The background is a dark, cloudy sky. The guide's facial expression is one of concentration, while the other man's face is contorted in effort. The rocky path winds upward, disappearing into the clouds. The overall mood of the image is one of struggle and perseverance.
