From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Équilibre Européen is a 1867 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a woman balancing on a large ball, her dress flowing behind her. She's barefoot and appears to be in motion, with her arms outstretched for balance. The woman's facial expression suggests a sense of determination and focus. The ball she's standing on seems to be floating on water, adding to the sense of precariousness. The artist's use of lithography creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. If you're interested in learning more about this technique, you might want to look into lithography.
