1856
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mossieu le directeur is a 1856 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a scene of a man in a dark suit and bow tie, standing with his hands on his hips. He is surrounded by four women, all dressed in formal attire, with one woman on the left wearing a dress with a full skirt and the others wearing more subdued outfits. The background is a plain wall, with no other details visible. The man's posture and facial expression suggest that he is in charge, possibly a director or manager of some sort. The women surrounding him appear to be looking up to him, or perhaps waiting for his instruction. The image is a lithograph, created by Honoré Daumier in 1856. It is held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. If you're interested in learning more about lithography, you might want to look up the technique 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.
