1852
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Madame Chapotard se disposant a faire ses confitures is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people on a cobblestone street. The woman on the left wears a long dark dress and a headscarf, holding a wooden spoon. The man on the right has a hat, a short cloak, and a sword at his side—he’s giving her a thumbs-up with one hand. The woman looks like she’s making jam, while the man seems to be cheering her on. The drawing is loose and sketchy, not polished. Next, check out lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
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.
