1854
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Les russes encourageant l'agriculture is a 1854 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see three tall, thin figures working in a field. They're pulling a plow and riding a horse. The scene is simple, with not much background. The figures are funny because they're so exaggerated. They're hunched over or making big gestures. This makes the scene feel like a joke. Check out the work of artist Daumier, Honoré to see more like this.
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.
