About this picture
Inconvenient de quitter is a public-domain illustration by Honoré Daumier and Edouard Bouvenne, dated 1846. Hand-colored lithograph on wove paper. The file comes from National Gallery of Art.
“Inconvenient de quitter” (1846) 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.
