About this work

Three old women sit close in a dark room. A single candle lights their faces. Their hands rest on a table. The shadows make their wrinkles stand out. Daumier made this in 1857. It’s a lithograph, a printing method where ink sticks to parts of a stone. He used rough lines to show tired faces and quiet moments. This style feels like Rembrandt’s late drawings. Look it up at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
