1864
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Un amateur difficile is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a man in a suit cutting food at a dining table. He's surrounded by other people doing different things. The scene is pretty formal, with people looking at art in the background. This painting is interesting because it shows how people interacted with each other and with art in the past. The artist included many details, like the people's clothes and the art on the walls. You can learn more about this style by looking 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.
