EDITORS COMMENTS
(Excuse me: I'm going to sit at the table) is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in the 19th century. This monochromatic masterpiece, now held in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., offers a humorous and satirical depiction of everyday life. The image features two men, dressed in the fashion of the era, standing on a balcony overlooking a bustling cityscape. One man turns to the other and says "Excuse me: I'm going to sit at the table." The casual exchange is captured with a witty and humorous tone, as the man's back is turned to the viewer, signaling his departure from the conversation. The architectural detail in the background adds depth and context to the scene, with intricately carved balconies and ornate buildings lining the street below. The use of grey tones in the lithograph adds a sense of timelessness and nostalgia, transporting the viewer back to the 19th century. Daumier's skillful use of caricature and parody is evident in the exaggerated features of the figures, adding an element of humor and playfulness to the piece. The lettering in the title is also a notable feature, adding a sense of informality and conversational tone to the artwork. Overall, "Vous m'excuserez: je vais me mettre a table..." is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a humorous and insightful look into the daily lives of people during the 19th century. The artwork's enduring appeal lies in its ability to capture the universal human experience of conversation and the act of leaving a social gathering.
