1864
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Les Jolis Chasseurs is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two hunters in a rainy landscape, wearing tall hats and carrying guns. They're standing together, looking out at the trees. The hunters' clothes and the trees are drawn with a lot of details, which is interesting because it shows how Daumier paid attention to everyday things. He liked to draw people doing normal activities, like hunting or just walking around. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking into 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.
