From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Vois-tu, le petit estancelin comme il parle ... is a 1850 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of people in a big room, talking and gesturing to each other. The scene is exaggerated and funny, with people waving their arms and looking upset. This kind of satire was common in Daumier's time, and he used it to comment on politics and society. You can learn more about this style by looking into 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.
