Voici votre comptre: Il vous revenait ... is a 1843 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men talking in this lithograph. They are against a plain background. The men are dressed differently, which tells us about their social roles. One man is casual, the other is gesturing a lot. This shows how people interact with each other in daily life. The artist paid attention to how people communicate. This lithograph is an example of work by artist: 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.
