1849
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
L'insurrection contre les maris ... is a 1849 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows three women in 1840s dresses, fists raised, facing a man who looks nervous. The middle woman points straight at him like she’s making a point. It feels angry and serious, not playful. Daumier made this during a time when French women couldn’t vote or own property. It was risky then to print this openly. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
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.
