From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Une Femme comme moi... remettre un bouton?... is a 1844 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts a woman in a long dress, possibly from the 19th century, gesturing to a man with his head tilted back and legs up in the air. The woman's right arm is extended, while her left arm rests on her hip. The man's attire appears to be a long-sleeved shirt and pants, with his head and legs in an unusual position. The background of the image is not clearly defined, but it seems to be a room or interior space. The woman's gesture and the man's pose suggest a sense of movement or action, although the exact context is unclear. The artist's use of shading and texture adds depth and interest to the image.
