Toast porté a l'émancipation des femmes ... is a 1848 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, depicting Drinking, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows four women toasting together. Their dresses and hairstyles look 1800s fancy. One holds a glass up high. Others smile or gaze at each other. Daumier made this in 1848. It celebrates women pushing for rights. The women seem powerful and united. This print uses a flat style, not deep shadows. See how the lines stay bold and clean. Look up lithography next.
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.
