1840
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mon dieu! M'ame Bombec qué que vous avez attrapé? is a 1840 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, depicting Toulouse, held at National Gallery of Art.
A woman in a bonnet leans close to an old man in a doorway. His hands clutch a wooden bucket while hers covers her mouth in shock. The city behind them is just blurry lines—no details matter here. Daumier loved poking fun at people. This lithograph shows his sharp humor in just a few lines. The wrinkles on their faces tell the whole story. Look up Daumier, Honoré next.
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.
