Le Maraudeur is a 1841 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a rough-looking man with a big hat and a bag. He's standing alone in the scene. This painting is interesting because it shows a common person, not a rich or important one. The artist drew attention to this man's appearance and situation. 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.
