1845
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Un rendez-vous is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Two men stand face to face in a Paris street. One wears a shiny top hat. The other looks scruffy in a loose coat. Their clothes and faces show a big gap between rich and poor. Daumier made this with ink on stone. He pressed paper onto the ink to print it. That trick is called lithography. It lets artists draw fast and sharp. If this grabs you, try more of his prints by Honoré Daumier.
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.
