The Boat Trip: The Steamboats or Watch Out for the Steamers

Charles François Daubigny

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image is a black and white drawing of a river scene. A small boat with a man in it is in the foreground, on the lower center of the image. The man sits at the back of the boat, holding a long pole. The boat has a covered cabin at the front. In the background, several large steamboats are on the water, emitting thick smoke from their chimneys. The sky has many clouds, and there are trees and hills on the left side of the image. The water is choppy, with many lines indicating waves. The artist's signature is at the bottom left, and some writing is at the bottom right. The image is in a white frame.
