Il faut que vous fassiez encore place... is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a crowded train car with passengers packed tightly together, their faces contorted in various expressions of discomfort and frustration. The scene is rendered in a lithograph style, with bold lines and shading that add depth and texture to the image. In the foreground, a man in a top hat and coat is shown pushing his way through the crowd, his face set in a determined expression. The background of the image is a blur of faces and bodies, with some passengers leaning out of the train car or standing on the platform. This image is reminiscent of the work of artist Daumier, Honoré.
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.
