1852
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
L'ennemi des chiens ayant eu l'imprudence ... is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a man running in panic while three women chase him, one holding a small dog. The women wear old-fashioned dresses and look determined. The man holds his hat tight, his face full of worry. Daumier made this print in 1852. He used sharp lines and big expressions to show the humor and chaos of the moment. Lithography was new at the time, letting artists draw directly on stone with greasy crayons. See it for yourself at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
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.
