1866
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mon cher Holsteinois, votez je vous en prie ... is a 1866 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see three people in this lithograph, with one holding a box labeled 'URNE' and another sitting in chains. The scene is exaggerated, like a cartoon, which was typical of 19th-century political satire. The artist used simple black and white lines to make a point about voting and freedom. This style is similar to what you'd see in works by artist: Daumier, Honoré.
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.
