Ingrate patrie, tu n'auras pas mon oeuvre!...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in a dynamic pose, with one leg raised and the other knee bent. He is interacting with an oversized framed artwork labeled "refusé." He has long dark hair, a hand on his forehead, and appears frustrated or exerted. He wears a loose shirt and dark trousers. Papers and debris are scattered on the floor, and there are various pieces of artwork in the background. The setting resembles an artist's studio or workshop.
