1858
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le rues de Paris dans les premiers jours de Septembre ... is a 1858 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Daumier’s 1858 lithograph shows a man, woman, and child walking a Paris street in dark coats and hats. The child wears a white bonnet, the woman carries a small basket. Daumier made 4,000 lithographs in his life. This one shows everyday Paris in the 1860s without glamour. The scene feels quiet and real. If you like this, look up 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.
