Moi je suis ravitaillé!... is a 1871 by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man sitting at a table, grinning widely with his mouth open. He’s wearing a dark coat and has a glass of liquid and a plate of food in front of him. His hands are large, and he looks happy while leaning back in his chair. The caption below reads *"Moi, je suis ravitaillé!… Le reste m’est égal,"* which roughly means *"I’m fed! The rest is equal to me."* This suggests he’s content with just one meal. Next, check out Daumier, Honoré—his sharp eye for everyday life made him a key artist of his time.
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.
