1857
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le bon temps est passé ... is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows four men in suits and top hats. Their faces are big and lopsided. Daumier made fun of rich folks in his cartoons. He worked fast with greasy crayon on stone. See one of his other prints next. This one's called Le bon temps est passé. The title means "the good times are over." If you don't speak French, you can still feel the joke.
