1864
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Moi d'abord sitot que je vois un lièvre ... is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Two men stand in a field. One talks with his hands. The other listens, holding a leash. A dog sits between them, calm. This is a lithograph. That means Daumier drew on stone with greasy ink. Then he pressed paper to it. The ink stayed where he drew. See how the lines feel loose and alive? Look up Daumier, Honoré to find more of his sharp, funny prints.
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.
