Pour la septième fois voulez-vous me rendre ... is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows two people in a theater, talking intensely. They seem to be in a heated discussion. The artist used simple black and white lines to draw them. You can see the tension between them, which is typical of how people interact in social situations. The artist's use of cross-hatched shading adds to the emotional feeling of the scene. To learn more about this style, look at 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.
