Un Jeune homme qui est l'espoir... de la famille Badinguet is a 1846 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a young man sitting in a chair, looking straight ahead. He's dressed in simple clothes and has a serious expression. This painting is interesting because it was created during a time of social change in France, and the artist is commenting on the idea of hope for the future. The young man in the painting seems to be thinking deeply about something. The artist used simple lines and shading to create a sense of calm. To learn more about this style, look up 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.
