From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Une promenade d'argrément aux Champs-Elysées is a 1855 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a busy Paris street scene packed with tiny figures. Daumier’s sharp lithograph style makes the crowd feel alive. His bold lines turn stiff poses into quick, funny moments. This print shows daily life in 1855 Paris. Daumier was famous for mocking the rich and powerful. His work feels urgent, like a snapshot with a punch. If you like his style, check out Daumier, Honoré.
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.
