Un pierrot déplumé is a 1847 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men talking in this lithograph. They seem to be having a lively conversation. One man is dressed in a dark coat and is leaning forward, while the other is wearing a light Pierrot clown outfit and stands more quietly. This scene is interesting because it shows the contrast between the two men's personalities. You can learn more about this style by looking into 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.
