From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le sauvage bineau ayant ... is a 1850 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a small figure swinging a big club in a public place. It's a caricature with exaggerated proportions. The figure is surrounded by chaos, and the artwork uses expressive lines to convey this sense of upheaval. The use of satire in this work is interesting, as it comments on societal issues of the time. This style of satire was common in 19th-century editorial cartoons, making this work a great example of the time period.
