Se réjouissant... de la fin de la Canicule is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a lively scene of two people and a dog, captured in a lithograph print. The individuals are dressed in 19th-century attire, with the woman wearing a long dress and the man sporting a suit. The dog, positioned between them, appears to be a small breed. In the background, a wall with a door and window is visible, adding depth to the composition. The overall atmosphere of the scene exudes joy and playfulness, as suggested by the title "Se réjouissant... de la fin de la Canicule," which translates to "Rejoicing... at the end of the heatwave." To explore more works by the artist who created this charming scene, 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.
