Abstract:
A man is rowing a little boat with a young boy on board. They are boating on the Seine. Between 1841 and 1863, Daumier had his apartment and his atelier at Quai d’Anjou, nr. 9 on the Ile St.-Louis in Paris. Around 1850 it became fashionable to navigate the Seine. There existed many private boats as well as commercial enterprises on the river.
