7 heures du matin, 1839
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Seven o'clock in the morning, 1839) is a captivating monochrome lithograph in black on wove paper by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This masterpiece, titled "Singles' Day" or "La Journee du Celibataire," offers a humorous and insightful depiction of the morning routine of two bachelors in an antique bedroom. The scene unfolds in a cozy, dimly lit bedroom, where the first rays of sunlight begin to filter through the window. The room is adorned with a simple, rustic decor, and the focus is on the two figures lying in bed. One figure, dressed in a nightshirt, is still in the process of awakening, while the other, naked, reaches out to stroke a cat that lies beside him. The cat, with its alert and curious expression, gazes at the man with a hint of amusement. Daumier's use of crayon lithograph in black on wove paper adds to the overall texture and depth of the image, enhancing the contrast between light and shadow and bringing the figures and animals to life. The artist's masterful use of lettering and illustration adds to the humor and concept of the work, making it a standout piece of 19th-century art. This caricature, with its depiction of the simple pleasures of morning life and the companionship of animals, continues to resonate with viewers and remains an enduring testament to Daumier's artistic talent and cultural heritage. "7 heures du matin, 1839" is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the culture of France, or the depiction of everyday life in the 19th century. Whether viewed in an art gallery or art center, this work is sure to inspire a smile and leave a lasting impression.
