From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Industrie chinoise is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows three people working with big wooden barrels. They're lifting and checking them. The artist used a special technique to make the scene look real. The detailed cross-hatching gives the scene a sense of movement. This was a common way to show everyday life in art back then. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré to see more examples of this style.
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.
