1852
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Voila... mon pot de fleurs... va avoir du soleil... is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two women leaning out a window, laughing. One holds a pot of flowers, while the other gestures excitedly. Outside, a man clings to a tall pole, and a crowd gathers below near a riverbank with buildings in the distance. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and humor. The women’s joy contrasts with the awkward climber, making the scene feel lively. Look up lithography to see how artists like Daumier made prints with this technique.
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.
