P.J. Proudhon is a 1849 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a man with a serious expression, wearing a dark coat and holding a book in his right hand. He is standing in front of a wall, with a halo above his head. The man's attire and the halo suggest that he may be a figure of importance or authority. The book he holds could represent his intellectual pursuits or interests. This painting is a portrait by the 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.
