1865
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
La buvette is a 1865 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Two men sit in a warm room. They face each other over a small table. One man holds a glass. The other lifts his own drink. Their coats and hats lie nearby. The room glows with soft light. Daumier loved showing everyday scenes like this. He worked fast with lithography, a quick printing method. That let him capture life in real time. Look up Daumier, Honoré next.
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.
