Voila! t'es devenu rentier, moi médecin, lui... is a 1841 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts three men in conversation, each wearing a top hat and coat. The man on the left is turned away, while the man in the middle faces forward, gesturing with his hands. The man on the right stands with his hands clasped together, looking down. The scene is rendered in a range of grays, with darker tones used to define the figures and lighter tones used for the background. The overall effect is one of subtle nuance, with the artist using shading and texture to create depth and dimension. For more on the artist who created this work, look up 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.
