EDITORS COMMENTS
Sept Heures, or Seven Hours, is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1839. This monochrome masterpiece, depicting a humorous scene in shades of grey, is a crayon lithograph on wove paper. Daumier, known for his satirical and insightful caricatures, offers a glimpse into the daily life of two men in this intriguing work. The image presents an amusing encounter between two men, each holding a dog on a leash. The setting is simple, with the men standing in front of a plain background. The title "Sept Heures" suggests that this may be a depiction of the daily routine of bachelors, perhaps signifying the passing of time. The men exchange a handshake, possibly acknowledging the end of their workday or a greeting between friends. The use of black and white adds to the timeless and historic quality of the piece. The men's faces show expressions of weariness and resignation, while their dogs seem alert and curious. The title, "Singles' Day," adds an interesting layer to the interpretation of the work, suggesting a commentary on the lives of unmarried men during this period. This work of art, with its rich history and cultural significance, is a must-see for anyone interested in the 19th century, French art, or the human condition. It can be found in various art galleries and museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The intricate details and witty commentary make "Sept Heures" a standout piece in Daumier's extensive body of work.
