1847

From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Un Mari brûlé du feu de la jalousie is a 1847 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people on a rocky shore at dusk. One person is standing, holding a hat and looking down at the other, who’s sitting on a ledge with their head in their hands. Behind them, a big tree leans over the water, and a town with buildings and a bridge sits in the distance. The standing figure’s posture looks tense, almost angry, while the seated person seems exhausted. The rough lines and dark tones give it a dramatic, emotional feel.

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.
