Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of a group of people on a boat. The scene shows several individuals experiencing seasickness on the deck of a sailboat. One person is leaning over the side of the boat, another is sitting slumped with a fallen hat nearby, and others are lying on the deck looking distressed. The drawing includes a tilted mast and sails to show the boat's motion, and other boats sailing calmly in the distance on the horizon. The artist uses exaggerated facial expressions and postures to convey humor and discomfort.
