From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Une élè...zélée travaillant a domicile is a 1847 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a woman lying on her side on a couch, with her head resting on her arm. She is wearing a long-sleeved dress and has her dark hair pulled back. In the background, a man stands in a doorway, looking at the woman with a concerned expression. The room is dimly lit, with a small table and chair visible in the corner. The woman's pose suggests that she is tired or ill, and the man's expression implies that he is worried about her. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet concern and intimacy.

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.
