1854
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Que diable peut-il bien y avoir dans ce fourré-la? ... is a 1854 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, depicting Hunting, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows two hunters in a dense forest. They're looking at something in the underbrush. The hunters' old-fashioned clothes are detailed, which is interesting because it shows what people wore back then. The way the hunters are peeking into the foliage is what makes this scene notable. It's a quiet moment before something might happen. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking 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.
