This Met x Wendover Art Group design is a reproduction of an original work of art in The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection.
The Painter’s Studio
Henry-Bonaventure Monnier (French, 1799–1877)
Pen and ink with colored washes over graphite, on heavy buff wove paper within a drawn ink border; 7 1/2 x 11 5/8 in.; ca. 1855
Robert Lehman Collection, 1975 1975.1.672
Monnier scrutinized the life of the French bourgeoisie through his work as a caricaturist, lithographer, actor, and writer. A notorious prankster and humorist, he created satirical portraits of the Parisian middle class for popular albums and journals. This drawing is characteristic of Monnier’s treatment of the trades and vocations of the day. The studio is cluttered with the various objects related to the painter’s practice, while the diminutive artist sits, palette in hand, in front of a fresh canvas.
