From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Un Chateau en Espagne is a 1847 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people walking together in a park. The woman wears a long dress and a dark shawl over her shoulders. The man has a top hat and a cane, and he leans slightly toward her as they talk. The title *Un Château en Espagne* means "A Castle in Spain"—a phrase for dreaming big. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture their clothes and the tree behind them. Next, look up lithography 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.
