1846
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Tiens Dorothée ... Voila où m'a conduit ... is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man standing in water, reaching out and holding a hat, surrounded by tree branches that look like human arms. The man looks distressed, and a woman in the background seems to be reacting to the scene. This contrast between the man's struggle and the woman's reaction makes the painting interesting. To learn more about the process 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.
