1851
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Vous finirez par vous lasser de m'attaquer... is a 1851 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts a woman seated on a chair, with her head resting on her right hand. She is dressed in a long, dark dress and appears to be surrounded by small, grotesque figures. The figures are engaged in various activities, such as reading, writing, and talking, and seem to be vying for her attention. The woman's expression is one of weariness and annoyance, as if she is tired of being bothered by the figures. The overall mood of the image is one of chaos and disorder, with the figures creating a sense of turmoil around the woman. The use of lithography in this image adds a sense of texture and depth to the scene, with the rough, grainy quality of the medium enhancing the sense of chaos and disorder.

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.
