Ayant eu la vaniteuse idée de vouloir ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of three human-like figures in a body of water. The image depicts three heads in the water with a train traveling on train tracks in the background. The water is depicted in flowing lines that suggest movement and texture, with the three figures partially submerged. In the distance, a train is shown traveling along a straight horizon line, with steam emerging from its engine. The drawing features a caption at the bottom.
