Attention, Gargouillet, v'la le bourgeois qui passe...

The image shows two individuals depicted partially, from the waist up, as they are engaged in the act of bathing in a body of water. The person on the left is seated with their knees visible and has water pouring over their head, hands positioned on their head as though they are washing their hair. Their facial features are not clearly defined, but they have short, light-colored hair that is drenched. The second person stands or kneels to the right, with black, wet hair hanging over their face. They are shirtless, and the lower part of their body is submerged in water. The background features a sketched outline of buildings and two figures walking along the shore; one is a man wearing a tall hat and holding a cane, and the other is a woman with a parasol.
