1850
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Mr. Dupin in His Little Shoes is a 1850 by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man, Mr. Dupin, wearing little shoes. He looks serious. The details in his face and clothes are interesting because they were published in a newspaper, which is unusual. The newspaper publication adds a layer of context to the work. It was part of a series called "News of the Day". You can learn more about the style of this work by looking at the technique of chiaroscuro.
This print was published in Le Charivari (May 18, 1850) as plate 128 from the series News of the Day.
