1839
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Il y a pourtant des gens qui ressemblent a ça! is a 1839 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts two men engaged in conversation, with one holding a newspaper. The man on the left is dressed in a dark jacket and has his right hand raised to his chin, while the man on the right wears a dark robe and has his left hand on his hip. The newspaper features the word "CARICATURE" in bold letters. The scene is set against a light-colored background, with the title "IL Y A POURTANT DES GENS QUI RESSEMBLENT A CA!" written in bold letters at the top of the image. The overall tone of the piece is one of quiet contemplation, with the two men lost in thought as they discuss the contents of the newspaper.

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.
