L'Ordre règne à la Jamaique is a 1866 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a man sitting on the ground, smiling, with his legs crossed. He is wearing a hat, a jacket, and pants, and has a scarf around his neck. The background is a landscape with trees and bushes. The man's pose and expression suggest that he is relaxed and content. The artist's use of bold lines and shading creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. This lithograph is an example of the artist's work in the Realism movement. To learn more about the artist's style and technique, 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.
