La voyez-vous la comète? ... La-haut ... is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men in a city, talking and pointing up at the sky. They're wearing old-fashioned clothes, and the sky is full of stars. The men's conversation seems lively, as if they're discussing something interesting. The scene feels quiet and everyday, but the men's excitement is clear. Their discussion is likely about a comet, given the title and the starry sky. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré, to see more like this.
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.
