From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Nous ne nous serions jamais douté tout de même... is a 1870 by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts two men in dark uniforms, standing in a room with a light-colored wall. The man on the left is pointing upwards, while the man on the right is holding a sword and looking up at the same spot. The scene appears to be a moment of surprise or discovery. The two men are dressed in similar attire, suggesting they may be sailors or naval officers. The setting is a simple room with a plain wall, which adds to the sense of intimacy and focus on the two figures. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures.
