Un soir de première représentation is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a performer standing with their back to you, raising their hands in a dramatic gesture. This scene is interesting because it shows a moment of high emotion. The performer is interacting with the audience, but we can't see their face. Check out the technique: lithography, used by artist Daumier, Honoré, to create this scene, and learn more about it.
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.
