1844
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Philantrope anglais dans l'exercice ... is a 1844 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men fighting over a whip. One wears a top hat and coat. A horse stands nearby, held by a third person. The scene is sharp and exaggerated, like a cartoon. Daumier made this using lithography. That’s a way to print images from stone. The style feels rough but clear, like a quick sketch. Look up lithography next to learn how it works.
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.
