1848
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
One of theses day you have to do my portrait in this style is a 1848 by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, depicting Physician, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This lithograph shows a frowning man in a chair. His hands grip the arms. The artist adds quick lines for the room’s shadows. Daumier made this for a Paris newspaper in 1848. It feels rough and true, like a quick sketch you’d hang on your wall. Check out Daumier’s other prints next time you’re at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print (with title and captions added) was published in Le Charivari (April 21, 1848) as plate 2 from the series The Artists.
