Le Cordon donc!... is a 1847 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a scene of two men, one of whom is seated on a chair, while the other peers through a window. The seated man is attired in a nightcap and a cloak, and appears to be engaged in conversation with the man outside. The room is dimly lit, with a small table and a pot situated beside the seated man. In the background, the window is visible, with the man outside leaning in to converse with the seated individual. The overall atmosphere of the scene is one of quiet contemplation, with the two men engaged in a peaceful conversation. This painting is reminiscent of the works of 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.
