1852
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Parisiens regrettant vivement... is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a group of people crowded onto a train, soaked by heavy rain. The scene is dark and messy, with one man in a top hat leaning out the window, looking miserable. Below, more passengers huddle together, some peeking out at the storm. The title at the bottom hints this is about Parisians wishing they’d brought umbrellas for a seaside trip. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and emotion. Next, check out lithography to see how this kind of drawing was made.
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.
