L'Eau est délicieuse... je t'assure... is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, depicting Bathing, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a woman sitting at a table, smiling as she raises a glass of water to her lips. This lithograph is interesting because it pokes fun at the idea that water can be a fancy drink. The title translates to "Water is delicious... I assure you..." To learn more about the process used to create this work, look up the technique: 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.
