1838
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Lolo qu'aimes-tu mieux de ton papa ou de ta maman... is a 1838 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a scene of a man and woman standing beside a child, who is seated at a table. The man, dressed in a dark jacket and white pants, stands to the left, while the woman, wearing a dark dress and a white head covering, stands to the right. The child, also dressed in dark clothing, sits with their head resting on their right arm, which is propped up on the table. The background of the image is a light beige color, with some darker shading visible behind the figures. The overall atmosphere of the scene appears to be one of quiet contemplation, with the figures seemingly lost in thought. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and imagination.
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.
