1850
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
V'la mon petit... s'il n'a pas assez de moyens... is a 1850 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a scene of three men and a young boy in a room. The man on the left is dressed in a white shirt and pants, holding a cane in his right hand. The man in the middle is wearing a dark shirt and pants, with his hands on his hips. The boy is standing in front of him, holding a rolled-up paper. The man on the right is not fully visible. The room has a simple decor, with a few pieces of furniture and a picture on the wall. The overall atmosphere is one of everyday life, with the men engaged in conversation and the boy looking on. The artist's use of lithography creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. To learn more about this technique, look up the art movement of Realism.
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.
