Daumont

Daumont is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Daumont had a habit of sketching every stray cat in Paris, filling notebooks with quick lines that somehow looked better than most artists’ finished pieces. She turned those sketches into prints, selling them cheap on street corners to fund her real obsession: hand-painted fans. A friend once told me her best work isn’t the famous cats, but the tiny birds on the fan handles—each one so delicate it looks like it’ll fly off if you breathe wrong. If you like odd little details hiding in plain sight, look up her *H Beard Print Collection* and zoom in on the corners.
