1841
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Je pars plus amoureux que... jamais... is a 1841 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people standing close together. The person on the left wears a loose jacket and has their arms crossed. The person on the right is dressed in a long, simple gown with a veil over their head. Both faces look serious, almost worried. The drawing is rough and quick, with lots of shading and smudges. It feels like a snapshot of a moment, not a polished portrait. Next, look up lithography to see how this sketch was made.
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.
