1852
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Une Promenade conjugale is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A woman in a long dress stands holding a floppy umbrella, looking down at a man sprawled on the ground. He’s wearing a hat and a long coat, his legs stretched out awkwardly. The background shows a faint path, a few trees, and a rider in the distance. The woman’s dress is simple, her face calm, while the man’s slumped pose makes the scene feel off-balance. This sketchy style captures everyday life with quick, loose lines. Next, check out lithography to see how artists like Daumier made prints like this.
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.
