Der faule Lehrling, entlassen und zur See geschickt

William Hogarth, 1747

Five men are depicted in a rowing boat on the sea. Four men are involved in an interaction, with one male seated and being restrained by three others. One man is pouring liquid into his mouth from a bottle, while the other two are holding him and gesturing. The men have various facial features and are wearing cloaks and hats typical of maritime attire. The fifth man is positioned as if rowing the boat, clutching an oar with both hands. The background shows multiple sailing ships and windmills on the horizon, under a sky with large clouds. The water around the boat is depicted as wavy.
