Associated Names

Honoré Daumier

Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of two figures in a bed, startled awake. It is titled "UN REVEIL EN SURSAUT." The drawing shows two figures, sitting upright in bed amidst draped curtains. One figure is wearing a nightcap and both appear startled. They are in a dimly-lit room with a candle on a bedside table casting shadows. The drawing's lines are fluid yet defined, giving a detailed quality to the image.
