Lagrange is a 1849 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph presents a portrait of a man with a prominent nose and long, dark hair that falls to his shoulders. He is attired in a long-sleeved shirt and a flowing coat, with his arms crossed over his chest. The background of the image is a plain, off-white color. The subject's facial expression is one of contemplation, with his head tilted slightly to the side. His eyes are cast downward, giving the impression that he is lost in thought. The overall effect of the portrait is one of quiet introspection. To learn more about the Romanticism movement, explore the works of artists like Daumier, Honoré.
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.
