1864
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Vue d'un atelier ... is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows two artists in a cluttered studio. One points at a half-finished painting while the other sits with a blank stare. Tools and paint jars crowd the room. Daumier made this in 1864 during a time when artists often worked in shared spaces. The image feels raw, like a quick sketch of real life. It’s not polished—just honest. If you like this style, 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.
