Oh! Ciel Madeleine! ... is a 1850 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a lively scene with two adults and a child, each with different expressions. The adults are talking, while the child is in the center, drawing attention. This scene shows the artist's ability to portray human emotions and interactions. The way the child is placed at the center of the scene is interesting. It makes you wonder what's being said in the conversation. To learn more about this style of artwork, look into the technique: lithography.
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.
