1846
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Probité chinoise is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a crowd of men around a table. One man stands out, leaning in while others sit with wild faces. The scene feels tense, like a debate gone too far. Daumier used this print to mock politics. The men look silly but serious—typical of his sharp satire. To see more of his bold style, look up Daumier, Honoré.
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.
