1841
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Va faire... admirer ta fureur... is a 1841 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two women in a tense moment. One looks surprised, her mouth open and hands clutching her chest. The other leans in, her face twisted in anger or scorn, one hand raised like she’s scolding. Their clothes are simple, and the whole scene feels rough and quick, like it was drawn fast. The artist used a loose, sketchy style that feels alive and full of emotion. The words at the top and bottom are in French, adding to the drama. This isn’t a polished painting—it’s more like a sharp, expressive snapshot. Next, look into 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.
