From the collection of National Gallery of Art
L'Arbre de Noël des Grands Enfants is a 1867 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a Christmas tree surrounded by people with big smiles and excited expressions. The tree is decorated with instruments and money, which is pretty unusual. This artwork is interesting because it uses exaggeration to make a point about the people in the scene. The people around the tree are shown in a caricature style, which was popular in the 19th century. This style makes them look funny and emphasizes their emotions. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré to see more examples of this style.
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.
