1857
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
La veille du 13 Juin is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows an older couple standing on a balcony, looking up at the stars. They are side by side, and the night sky is full of stars. The couple is in a quiet moment, looking out at the universe. The scene is intimate and peaceful, with the stars shining down on them. The artist made this moment feel calm and special. 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.
