Vous ne prenez rien? is a 1865 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Daumier’s 1865 lithograph shows a man handing a cup on a tray to two seated figures in a plain room. The tray holds one cup. The seated figures look tired or bored. This was part of Daumier’s series on daily life in modern Paris. He used lithography because it let him print sharp, funny images fast for newspapers. Look for Daumier, Honoré next time you’re at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
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.
