From the collection of National Gallery of Art
L'allumeur de chalands is a 1841 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a figure in profile with a top hat and coat, standing indoors with two other people talking. The scene looks like a quiet moment in everyday life. Daumier observed people carefully, and this shows in the details of the figures' faces and clothes. To learn more about the artist who created this scene, look up Daumier, Honoré.
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.
