Fesant toutes partie de la plus belle moitié...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an indoor pool scene. The image contains several individuals by and in a swimming pool, all wearing swimwear from an earlier period. Two figures stand on a poolside deck, one with a head covering and the other sitting on a bench with water dripping off them. In the water, two figures are visible, one glancing up at the person sitting on the bench and the other swimming. In the background, there is a sketchy, shaded wall. The sketch is monochrome, using shading to imply depth and texture.
