1833
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le député ventrigoulu is a 1833 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A man sits in a large armchair, resting his head on his hand. He's surrounded by small figures doing different things. This scene is interesting because it shows a quiet moment in a busy setting, which was a common theme in 19th-century art. The man's calm demeanor contrasts with the lively scene around him. To learn more about the method used to create this image, look up the technique: lithography.
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.
