Manière polie de mettre ... a la porte ... is a 1850 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men in a tense moment, one holding a door shut and the other playing a violin. This scene is interesting because it shows how people interact with each other. The man playing the violin seems unaware of the tension, while the other man is clearly trying to keep him out. To learn more about this style of art, 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.
