1856
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
M. Vautour: Je ne saurais trop ... is a 1856 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows two men in a room, one holding a long object and the other clutching a hat. The scene is exaggerated, which suggests it's meant to be humorous or critical. The word 'CONCIERGE' on the wall gives us a hint about the setting and social roles. To learn more about this style of printmaking, look into the technique: 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.
