1851
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
M. Laurent (de l'ardèche) Passant ... is a 1851 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Here’s the revised description: This lithograph shows a row of politicians in fancy chairs. Their faces twist into grumpy frowns and eager grins. Some argue with hands up, others stare blankly ahead. Daumier worked fast. He drew this in a day, selling prints cheap to mock politicians. The details feel rough but still pack a punch. If you like this bold style, check out 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.
