1864
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Je crois vous avoir ... prouvé que mon client ... is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows two men in a courtroom. One stands and waves his arms. The other slumps in his chair, arms crossed tight. Sharp lines and deep shadows make the scene feel intense. Daumier worked as a cartoonist. He drew this in 1864 to mock unfair trials. The print uses bold strokes to show who’s really in charge. This style feels like a quick sketch. It’s not fancy—just raw and real. If you like this, check out Daumier, Honoré
