EDITORS COMMENTS
Monsieur Coquelet... partage son déjeuner," or "Mr. Coquelet Shares His Lunch," is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1839. This monochromatic masterpiece, featuring a crayon lithograph in black on wove paper, offers a humorous and insightful depiction of everyday life in 19th century France. The image showcases a solitary man, identified as Monsieur Coquelet, seated at a simple wooden table. He is dressed in the fashion of the time, with a cravat adorning his neck and a top hat resting on the chair beside him. The table is set with a plate of food, a bottle of wine, and two glasses. But what sets this scene apart is the unexpected presence of a cat and a dog, each eagerly awaiting their turn at the meal. The title of the work, "partage," translates to "sharing" in English. However, the scene suggests more of a competition between the animals, rather than a harmonious sharing of the meal. The man, seemingly oblivious to their antics, is engrossed in a letter, his attention focused on the words before him. This whimsical and charming work of art is a testament to Daumier's skill in capturing the nuances of human behavior and the unexpected twists that life can bring. The image invites us to ponder the relationship between man and animal, the passage of time, and the simple pleasures of a shared meal. "Monsieur Coquelet... partage son déjeuner" is a beloved piece of heritage art that continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists to this day. It can be found in numerous art centers, galleries, and museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
