1846
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Il parait qu'on vient de revoir le serpent de mer ... is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two people sitting in a room, talking to each other. Their faces and body language show they're having a serious conversation. The way they're leaning in and looking at each other makes you wonder what they're discussing. The conversation seems tense, and their expressions are very different. One person looks surprised, while the other seems to be explaining something. To learn more about the artist who created this scene, look up the technique of lithography.
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.
