Un jour de revue is a 1851 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This 1851 lithograph shows a big-nosed man holding a stick wrapped in clothes. Others around him strike the same pose, like they’re all part of the same joke. The crowded scene feels crowded on purpose—no room to miss the punchline. Daumier used sharp lines to make fun of officials who ignored real problems. His work often mocked power with a few bold strokes. If you like this style, try another Daumier, Honoré.
