1849
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le sauvage bineau faisant son entrée is a 1849 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a crowd of five odd-looking men on a small stage. One man at a podium waves his arms like he’s giving a speech. The others look extra serious or silly, with big noses and strange clothes. Daumier made this as a lithograph in 1849. He often mocked politicians and public figures in his work. This one feels like a joke about people who take themselves too seriously. Want to see more 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.
