M'sieu... que c'est tannant d'avoir la colique quand... is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a scene of a man sitting at a desk, with a group of people gathered around him. The man is wearing a hat and appears to be in a state of distress, while the others seem to be observing him with interest. The scene is rendered in a detailed and expressive style, with bold lines and shading that add depth and texture to the image. The overall mood is one of quiet contemplation, as if the viewer is being invited to reflect on the scene before them. The artist's use of lithography creates a sense of intimacy and immediacy, drawing the viewer into the world of the image. For more on this technique, explore the art of lithography.
