1860
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Voici les français! ... je fille ... is a 1860 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Two men stand side by side against faintly drawn ships. Their bodies lean toward each other, one pointing at the other like a comic jab. Daumier made this as a lithograph—ink on stone, pressed onto paper—so every scratch shows. The men’s hats and coats are barely sketched, but their faces bulge like overripe fruit, all nose and jowl. Check out a lithograph by 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.
