1856
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Il faut me trouver... trois pièces... is a 1856 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people in a bare room. One leans on a stick, looking down at a paper held by the other. The walls are plain, and the floor looks worn. A small window shows a faint outdoor scene. The text at the bottom hints at a conversation about finding a place with three rooms and a kitchen. The drawing feels quick and rough, like it was made fast. Next, check out lithography to see how this sketch was printed.
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.
