Voyons!... debout, on nous regarde is a 1866 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph on newsprint, titled "Voyons... debout, on nous regarde," depicts a man and a woman in a dynamic pose. The man, dressed in a dark outfit, is shown with his back to the viewer, while the woman stands behind him, looking over his shoulder. Her right arm is wrapped around his torso, and her left hand holds a long stick or pole that extends to the left side of the image. The scene is rendered in dark tones, with the figures standing out against a lighter background. The overall effect is one of movement and energy, as if the two figures are about to spring into action. The lithograph is a striking example of Daumier's skill as an artist, and its use of bold lines and dark tones creates a sense of drama and tension. To learn more about the artist behind this work, look up 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.
