From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Soyez tranquille bourgeois, on connait is a 1942 ink by Honoré Daumier, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men talking in this lithograph. They have very different appearances and manners. The contrast between them shows the differences between social classes. The man on the left looks poor and is gesturing wildly. The man on the right is well-dressed and calm, showing how people from different backgrounds interact. This painting is an example of work by an artist like 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.
