From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Un abri a la campagne is a 1856 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man lounging outdoors under a tree, with a dog beside him. He's in a serene rural setting, looking relaxed. The man's pose and the dog's calmness suggest a quiet moment. This artwork has a loose and expressive style. It reflects a connection to nature. The artist used simple lines and shapes to create this scene. To learn more about this style, look into the technique: 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.
