ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Voyage a travers les populations empressées is a 1834 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts a man riding a horse, with the horse's front legs raised as if it is about to jump. The man is dressed in a dark coat and hat, and he appears to be looking down at something on the ground. In the background, there are several birds flying in the sky, and some objects on the ground that are difficult to make out. The overall mood of the image is one of movement and energy, with the horse and rider appearing to be in motion.

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.
