From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Passager ayant payé ... pour se rendre a New-York ... is a 1858 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man sitting, looking at a big ship in the water. The man is dressed in simple clothes, like a plaid cap and checkered pants. He seems to be thinking deeply, and the ship behind him is partly underwater, which might mean he's struggling with his hopes and dreams. To learn more about this style of print, look into 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.
