Il n'y a pas a dire, il faut que je traverse ce... bois... is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a man in a top hat and dark coat, holding a cane in his right hand. He stands in a forest, surrounded by trees and bushes. The man's face is blurred, and his body is turned to the left. The man's attire and the forest setting evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue. The blurred face adds to the enigmatic nature of the scene. For more on this style, explore 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.
