About this picture
The Spectators is a public-domain drawing by Honoré-Victorin Daumier, dated c. 1860–64. Charcoal on off-white wove paper. The file comes from Art Institute of Chicago.
“The Spectators” (c. 1860–64) is the kind of sheet Daumier made by the thousand: a blunt, observing drawing of ordinary people, the law, or the Paris street. Most are lithographs. A few are paintings.
About the artist
Honoré Daumier (1808–1879) was a French printmaker and painter. He made thousands of lithographs for the paper Le Charivari, satirizing lawyers, politicians, and the Paris street, and painted quieter pictures of travelers and people at work.
