Tendresse conjugale is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a man and a woman together, with the man leaning in and the woman looking at him. Their faces are close, and their body language says they're comfortable with each other. This moment feels quiet and personal, like we're seeing something private. To learn more about the process used to create this artwork, look up the technique: lithography.
