1855
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Les Hommes de vingt-cinq ans... is a 1855 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three men in a tense scene. The man on the left, dressed in a long coat and hat, points dramatically at the other two. The two on the right wear tall, patterned hats and robes, looking annoyed or defensive. One holds a book or papers, while the other gestures back at the first man. The caption below hints this is about a book listing men in their 20s. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and emotion. If you like this style, look up lithography next.
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.
