You see two men in a boat on a river, one standing with a pole and the other leaning toward a swimmer. The satirical dialogue in the artwork is interesting. It reflects the comedic style of 19th-century caricatures. The title is also in French, which adds to the cultural context. Check out the technique: lithography, used by artists like Daumier, Honoré.
