Une erreur excuable is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A man and woman sit together, surrounded by chickens, in a simple outdoor setting. The contrast between the man and woman is interesting, with the man wearing a tall hat and the woman in a bonnet and voluminous dress. This contrast highlights the social dynamics of the time. To learn more about the method used to create this image, look up 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.
