This lithograph shows three men on a rickety boat. One wears a big military hat. The others look loose and playful. Daumier uses sharp lines and shadows to make them pop. This isn’t just a funny picture. It mocks rich people who waste time. Daumier often drew satire like this. He worked in Paris, where class jokes were common. See how he draws the boat’s wood? Check out Daumier, Honoré next.
