1870
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Pauvre vieux! T'es comme moi ... is a 1870 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
An old man in a coat leans on a cannon. His hat sits low. Smoke curls behind him. A dome rises in the distance. Daumier made this as a lithograph. That means he drew on stone, then printed the image. It looks rough but full of feeling. He often picked everyday people for his art. This one feels tired, maybe worn out by life. Look up lithography next.
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.
