1840
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Vous sentez bien, mon cher monsieur... is a 1840 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows two men facing each other, their faces scrunched up in emotion. Their features are exaggerated, making them look funny and serious at the same time. This artwork is interesting because it comments on people's flaws and weaknesses, which was a common theme in 19th-century art. It highlights the physical and emotional truths of the time in a humorous way. You can learn more about this style by looking into the work of the artist: 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.
