1851
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Sainte Rosette Tamisier ... is a 1851 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Daumier’s 1851 lithograph shows two figures in a heated chat. One wears a cone hat covered in words, the other has wings and a face like a beast. Daumier often poked fun at hypocrites, and here the hat looks like a sermon turned joke. The scowls and pointed fingers feel very real—like you’ve caught strangers mid-argument in a café. Check out more Daumier, Honoré if you like this bold, funny style.
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.
