Trustman, Benjamin A., Trustman, Julia M. · 1862
Two landscape artists are resting under the shade of a tree rather than doing their work. The lyrical beauty of this print is quite unique in Daumier's oeuvre. We can assume that his friends Corot, Daubigny, Dupré, Rousseau, Diaz, and Millet - all of them "paysagistes" - must have smiled when looking at it. In 1937, the lithographic stone of this print was shown in an exhibition of the Pennsylvania Museum of Art in Philadelphia. It was lent out by the Weyhe Gallery in New York (see page 53 of the exhibition catalogue).
