From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Prenant le titre ... de Mr de Girardin trop au sérieux ... is a 1866 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a busy street scene with a horse-drawn carriage and a building in the background. The building has words and a skull and crossbones on it. It's interesting because the artist used a lot of detail to show what city life was like back then. To learn more about the method used to create this image, look up 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.
