ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Jeunes imprudens qui se laiseent emporter ... is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows young people talking outside. Their faces show strong emotions like surprise and frustration. The way they're dressed and the way they're acting is exaggerated, which was typical of the artist's style. The people in the scene are wearing clothes from a specific time period, which helps us understand when it was made. This attention to detail suggests the artist was trying to comment on the social issues of his time. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of 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.
