1841
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Vous viendrez diner, ma femme soupe en ville ... is a 1841 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men in suits shaking hands. One holds a top hat. The other clutches a cane. The room is plain, but their formal clothes stand out. Daumier made this as a lithograph. That means he drew on stone, then inked it. The method gave his work a rough, expressive look. Want to see more like it? Check out 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.
