Abstract:
Three boatmen are in the Seine because their little boat has capsized. Between 1841 and 1863, Daumier had his apartment and his atelier at Quai d’Anjou, nr. 9 on the Ile St.- Louis in Paris. According to information by Provost, one of the "Bathing Boats", called "Petit, Ecole de Natation" was moored very close to Daumier's house at the Quai d'Anjou on the river Seine.
