1845
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le chemisier is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Here’s the rewritten description: Daumier’s *Le chemisier* shows two men talking. One points at the other while the second man stands calm with his eyes closed. A quiet tension fills the small space between them. Daumier made this in 1845 using lithography, a printing technique where ink sticks to grease but not water. His sharp lines and bold contrasts bring the scene to life. See it next at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
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.
