1854
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
S'administrant la discipline ... is a 1854 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a soldier kneeling, tied up with ropes. He's wearing a military uniform and a weird helmet. The background has some buildings and names of places. The soldier looks like he's in trouble. This painting is interesting because it's making fun of military rules. It's not a straightforward picture - it's more like a joke. Check out lithography to learn more about how it was made.
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.
