Les Fricoteurs politiques is a 1850 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a woman in a dark dress and hat, holding a spoon and a box labeled "FRANCE." She faces three men in hats, who are looking at her. The men are standing in front of a large, round object with a label that reads "L'ÉLECTOR." The woman and the men are drawn in a realistic style, with detailed facial expressions and clothing. The background is a light color, which helps the figures stand out. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to explore the work of 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.
