The Boat Trip: Bedding Down Aboard the "Botin" (Night on the Boat)

Charles François Daubigny

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a man lying on a pile of bedding on the floor of a room. The man is wearing a hat and has his head resting on a pillow. He is lying on the floor surrounded by tall grass or plants. There are various objects in the room including what appears to be a chair against one wall, a picture on a shelf on another wall and a box on the wall opposite the viewer. The room has a low ceiling with beams running across it. The overall atmosphere appears to be dark and moody. The image is signed in the bottom-left corner and there is text in the bottom-right corner. The image is set within a thick white border.
