1857
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Tiens ... vous m'aviez dit ... is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows four men in an apartment hallway. One in a top hat talks to a woman in a black dress. Two others lean over a staircase railing. Daumier made this for a magazine. He used sharp lines to show quick movements and sharp attitudes. The dark ink makes faces pop against the plain walls. Want to see more like this? Look up Daumier, Honoré.
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.
