1843
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Tu m'embêtes, mon épouse!... v'la une heure... is a 1843 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men in a snowy scene. One wears a tall black top hat and a coat covered in white dots, holding a cane. The other man, bent over, looks annoyed, with a hat pulled low. Snow falls around them, and the background is blurry. The title at the bottom is a funny line in French about snow and umbrellas. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show their expressions and clothes. Look up lithography next to see how this print was made.
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.
