From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Porter des charges comme ca 'puis six heures ... is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two people harvesting grapes in a vineyard. They're working hard, one climbing a ladder to empty a basket of grapes. The scene shows rural life during that time, with people doing physical labor to gather food. The people in the scene are doing everyday tasks, which makes the scene feel real. The way the artist drew the vines and leaves around them adds to the feeling of a busy harvest day. 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.
