Ayant eu ... l'idée d'aller ... c. 19th century

"Ayant eu ... l'idée d'aller ..." is a lithograph by French artist Honoré Daumier, created around the 19th century. The artwork depicts a couple looking out of a window at a stormy, overcast sky. The scene is likely meant to be a humorous commentary on the weather and the desire to escape to the countryside. Daumier was known for his satirical cartoons and his keen observation of the human condition.

This artwork is a prime example of his mastery of the lithograph medium, showcasing his use of bold lines and expressive shading to create a sense of depth and movement.
