1870
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Monsieur sera très bien ici... is a 1870 by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men in a dim, plain room. One stands stiffly in a dark coat and hat, holding a cane. The other leans against a doorframe, arms crossed, looking bored or annoyed. The walls are bare, and the light is weak, making everything look flat and shadowy. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show their moods—not smooth details. The man on the right looks like he’s waiting or arguing, while the other seems impatient. Next, check out Daumier, Honoré to see how he drew everyday people this way.
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.
