- Abstract
-
"A scene on the shore. A fat woman is in the water, her skirts floating round her. A man tries to pull her up, a young woman tugs at his coat-tails, both in the water. Beside them is a boat (right) from which a man has fallen head first; a boatman clutches his foot, another uses a boat-hook; a man with a sunshade and a girl scream and gesticulate. A dog swims. Behind is the sea or a tidal estuary, with smaller figures in the background (left)."--British Museum online catalogue.
