From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Monsieur, pardon si je vous gêne un peu... is a 1844 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, depicting Reading, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man standing in a room, looking a bit awkward. He's trying not to disturb someone. The interesting thing about this work is that it shows everyday life in a simple way, and the artist used a lot of detail to make it feel real, like the man's pose and the room's furniture. The artist paid attention to the little things. This makes the scene feel more realistic. Check out the work of 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.
