1839
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Tout est payé? Nous n'avons fait...salut is a 1839 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows three men in a shop. One waves his hand while another stares back in shock. Their faces look stretched and silly. Daumier used satire to poke fun at business deals gone wrong. He worked fast, drawing on stone with greasy crayons to make prints. Lithography lets him reuse the stone to print many copies. Want to see how it works? Check out 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.
