1841
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le recors is a 1841 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows three men with a horse-drawn carriage. They are dressed up and look like they're from a wealthy part of town. You can see the difference in their social status through their clothes and expressions. Their faces are detailed, but the city behind them is simple. This artwork is interesting because it pokes fun at the people in it. Check out the work of artist: 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.
