Tu m'reprendras encore... a aller souhaiter... is a 1848 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people walking on a wet street. The man wears a big top hat, a long coat, and boots, leaning on the woman’s arm. She’s bundled in a heavy cloak and hood, looking down. The buildings in the background are dark and blurry, like it’s raining or foggy. The artist used quick, rough lines to show movement and mood. The title hints at a story—maybe about regret or a mistake—but the faces stay blank. Look up lithography to see how artists like Daumier made prints with stone and ink.
