Le Barbillon entraine...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

Two figures are depicted engaged in an activity by the water. The person on the left is standing on the rocky shore, leaning forward and pulling on a fishing pole. He has short, dark hair and is wearing rolled-up sleeves and striped pants. The person on the right is partially visible in the water, holding onto the fishing line. This individual has long dark hair and is wearing a wet, loose shirt. In the background, there are rocks and a tree along the water's edge, and a hat floating on the calm water. The image is set within a simple frame with a title and text at the bottom.
