J. Claude Fulchiron is a 1833 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a man in a long, dark coat standing sideways. His arms are crossed, and he’s looking up with a serious expression. The lines are simple and sketchy, focusing on his face and posture. The name at the bottom reads "M. Fulchir," which is actually J. Claude Fulchiron, a French politician. This was made as a political cartoon in France’s *La Caricature* magazine. Next, look up lithography to see how artists like Daumier made sharp prints with stone and acid.
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.
