1847
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
La planche démontree par le prècepte ... is a 1847 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see three people in a room that looks like a bathhouse. The two standing figures are posing in opposite ways, while the person in the back is sitting down. This contrast shows how good Daumier was at drawing people and their interactions. He used simple lines to convey a lot of emotion, which is similar to the style of 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.
