From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Tenez, je viens de tuer un magnifique ... is a 1859 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, depicting Hunting, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows two men in an outdoor setting. One man holds up a rooster, while the other stands with a rifle. The scene looks like a moment after a hunt, with the men interacting with each other. The man with the rooster seems proud of his catch. The other man looks on, maybe congratulating him. This detail suggests the artist is highlighting the social side of everyday life. To learn more about the method used to create this image, look into the technique: lithography.
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.
