1857
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
It's nothing Eleanor... is a 1857 by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a woman sitting at a table, looking unhappy. She's surrounded by papers and quills, but she's not working. The woman's expression is what makes this work interesting - it seems like she's frustrated with her task. The artist drew this scene to comment on everyday life. The details in the room add to the scene's feeling. Check out the work of artist: Honoré Daumier (French, 1808–1879) for more scenes like this.
This print was published in Le Charivari (March 6, 1857) as plate 34 from the series Parisian Sketches.
