1843
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Tiens! Moi qui croyais que nous venions de découvrir ... is a 1843 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows three men in coats and hats talking by a river. One points toward the water. Their bodies lean in, like they’re sharing a secret. Daumier made many prints like this. They mocked politics and society but hid the jokes in tiny details. This one feels quiet but sharp. It’s a great example of lithography. Look up Daumier, Honoré to see more.
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.
