From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Oh! Mamechaboulard ... qu'est-ce qu'y va ... arriver ... is a 1858 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two elderly women in a simple room, one reading to the other. They're sitting close together, showing a warm connection. The artist drew this scene by hand, which gives it a personal feel. This personal touch highlights the everyday life of women in the 19th century. The scene feels quiet and intimate, like a moment from real life. 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.
