From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Je n'ai pas peur de la mort pour moi ... is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows three people in a room, with a man on the left looking calm. The women with him look upset and worried. Their expressions suggest a difficult conversation is happening, and it's about something serious, like death or loss, which was a common concern in mid-19th century society. You can learn more about this kind of scene and its creation by looking into the technique: 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.
