Bronze Age Gold from Wales
The night walkers
The dark outlines and lack emphasis on light and dark reveal Daumier's experience in drawing and printmaking. His reputation was first established as a satirical caricaturist and it was only later he ventured into painting with oils. This work is an early example. The figures' dress marks a distinction in social class - perhaps a reference to the political issues of the time.
Work was part of the AFA tour (2009-2010): From Turner to Cézanne: Masterpieces from the Davies Collection, National Museum Wales
