Tiens, voila mamzelle palmyre qui fait ... is a 1855 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man and a woman in a room. The woman holds a decorative jug. The man is dressed up. The room is full of funny pictures. These pictures are exaggerated and silly. The window in the background shows another woman working. This adds to the story being told. It looks like the artist is making a point about something. Check out the technique of 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.
