Ma chére, je vous apporte une potiche ... is a 1855 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two people on a staircase, one going up with a pot and the other at the top holding another. The people in the picture seem to be in the middle of a conversation. The artist used lines and shading to create a sense of depth and make the scene feel more real. To learn more about this kind of artwork, look into the technique of 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.
