Boat in Trouble

Französische Grafik 1891–1893,

The image shows a group of four figures, three adults, and one child, only partially visible from their waists up. The central figure is a woman inclined forward, positioned to the left, with her face in profile. She has a shawl covering her head. She wears a long dress and a draped shawl. Behind her to the right are two more figures, also wearing shawls. The child is directly in front of these two figures. The background is abstract and dark, with soft tones and indistinct shapes. The entire scene is rendered in muted brown tones with a sketch-like quality.
