EDITORS COMMENTS
("Look at little Estancelin as he speaks...") is a captivating lithograph by the renowned 19th-century French artist Honore Daumier. This thought-provoking work, titled "Physiognomy of the Assembly," showcases Daumier's exceptional talent for caricature and satire. The image depicts a woman, her face filled with pride and admiration, as she points to a young boy named Estancelin, who is standing in front of an assembly of men. The meeting has been suspended, and the room is filled with tension and argument. The woman's son, Anatole, stands next to Estancelin, looking downcast and disappointed. The woman's words, "Look at little Estancelin, how he already speaks so well for his age, and in front of everyone, without crying...if only you could give such satisfaction to your parents, Anatole!" add a layer of complexity to the scene. The mother's comparison of her son to the well-spoken Estancelin highlights the pressure and expectations placed on children to perform and meet societal standards. Daumier masterfully captures the essence of the 19th-century political climate in this lithograph. The assembly, filled with arguing men, represents the tumultuous nature of French politics during this time. The presence of guns and weapons in the room adds an ominous undertone, emphasizing the potential for conflict and warfare. This print, with its intricate details and nuanced commentary, is a testament to Daumier's skill as a satirical artist. It invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of human nature, politics, and the pressures of societal expectations. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this important work in its collection, allowing future generations to appreciate the wit and wisdom of Honore Daumier.
