Un récit de chasse is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Three men sit at a table. One waves his hands. Another leans in close. Their faces twist in surprise. Daumier knew how to make a story pop on paper. He used lithography, a printing trick. A greasy crayon on stone made bold lines fast. This print shows his skill with humor. Look for the wild gestures. If you like this, check out Daumier, Honoré.
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.
