Un Chemin dangereux is a 1851 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of men climbing a steep hill. The men are dressed in dark clothing and have worried expressions on their faces. One man is holding onto another, while a third man looks back over his shoulder. In the background, there is a statue of a man on top of the hill, with the words "République Française" written above it. The overall mood of the painting is one of struggle and determination.
