Pique-Assiette is a 1841 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, depicting Cummerbund, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a woman sitting with her back to us. She wears a simple dress and a shawl. Her posture feels tired or resigned. Daumier made this in 1841. He often drew regular people with honesty. This image feels quiet and real, not fancy or posed. It’s a great example of lithography. Look up Daumier, Honoré to see more.
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.
