From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Papa ... viens donc voir ce qui est ... is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A man and a young boy are shown in a cultural setting, likely an exhibition. The man wears a top hat and holds an open book. The boy points to something, showing curiosity. The boy's gesture suggests he's interested in learning. The man seems to be teaching him. This scene is a quiet moment between two people. To learn more about this style, look up the technique: lithography.
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.
