From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Villégiature is a 1858 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, depicting Bathing, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man in a big wooden bathtub outdoors, surrounded by trees and plants. The scene is funny because the man is bathing in a weird place. The woman next to him, wearing a big hat and glasses, adds to the humor, making fun of how people relax. To learn more about this style of art, look at the technique: lithography.
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.
