1847
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le Plus farceur de la société is a 1847 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man in fancy clothes walking fast, carrying a bag. Behind him, four people sit on the ground, watching him. The scene looks like a street or park with trees in the background. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and energy. The people in the background seem relaxed, while the man looks tense. Check out the technique: lithography to see how this print was made.
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.
