1854
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
La pluie tombe déja comme ça depuis ... is a 1854 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two people with crutches walking with a dog in a empty landscape. The scene feels quiet and everyday. The people are talking, and you notice the details of their clothes and the ground. The lines in the picture are angled, which suggests it might be rainy or windy. This scene reminds me of the work of another artist, but to learn more about this kind of print, look up the technique: 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.
