On reprend son bien ou on le trouve is a 1840 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows two people in old-fashioned clothes fighting. They're in a city, but you can barely see the buildings behind them. The artist used simple black and white shading to draw attention to the struggle. The two figures are the main focus, with one grabbing the other's coat. This scene is interesting because it shows how people interact with each other in a tense situation. To learn more about the method used to create this image, look up the technique: lithography.
