Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing by Honoré Daumier titled "Man Overboard". The drawing features two men in a small boat on water; one man is leaning over the side of the boat into the water while the other sits with a long pole. The seated man wears a hat, a jacket, and light-colored pants. The man over the side of the boat wears a hat, a vest, and light-colored pants with dark boots. The boat appears to be wooden with oars inside. The background shows a body of water with faint outlines of land and trees. Several birds are flying in the top right corner of the image. The overall mood appears somber. The style is realistic with detailed shading.
