From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Oui, mon cher monsieur Badoulard, je vais... is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this lithograph, a man sits at a desk, holding a large book and speaking to another man seated across from him. The man at the desk wears a striped shirt and has a black collar, while the other man is dressed in a dark jacket and white pants. A small bowl with steam rising from it sits on the desk between them. In the background, two people are visible through a window, and a stack of pillows or cushions lines the wall. The scene is set in a cozy, rustic room with a warm atmosphere. The use of stripes and dark colors adds depth and texture to the image. The steam rising from the bowl creates a sense of movement and energy. This lithograph is a great example of the Romanticism movement, which emphasized emotion and imagination.
