From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Les crétins! ... On leur peint un tableau ... is a 1865 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a group of people in an art gallery looking at a large painting. They have different expressions on their faces. The people in the painting are looking at a work of art with figures from mythology or religion, and it's interesting because it shows how people react to art in a public space. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking into the technique: lithography.
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.
