1847
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Parisien transportant dans un autre quartier... is a 1847 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men outside a building with a sign that reads *"Déménagement Pour Civilis."* One man, wearing a top hat and carrying a birdcage, walks ahead while the other pushes a cart with a large wheel. The first man holds a bundle of sticks or branches over his shoulder. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and everyday life, focusing on the hustle of moving things from place to place. This style fits the busy energy of city scenes from that time.

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.
