1849
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Un cabriolet ayant une facheuse ressemblance ... is a 1849 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The print shows a funny cabriolet (a light carriage) with three people inside. One man’s head looks like the horse pulling the cart. The woman beside him leans away, as if she’s surprised. Daumier loved poking fun at society. This 1849 lithograph laughs at the awkward mix of people and carriages. The exaggerated shapes and faces make the joke clear. If you like this style, try another Daumier, Honoré.
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.
