1846
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Jeunes collégiens... lavant jusqu'a leur dictionnaire latin is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a scene of two young men standing before an older man, who is holding a book. The older man wears a dark outfit and a hat, while the two young men are dressed in dark attire and top hats. The background features a cityscape with buildings, and a sign on the left reads "LIVRES A 1." The overall atmosphere of the image is one of a quiet, everyday moment. The image is rendered in a simple, yet expressive style, with bold lines and subtle shading. The use of dark colors and the contrast between the older man's attire and the young men's top hats adds depth and visual interest to the scene.

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.
