Daubigny, Drawings for the Voyage en Bateau

18 . La chasse aux oiseaux: le mousse faisant peur au oiseaux Hunting for Birds: The Cabin Boy Scares the Birds Pen and ink on papier calque , 4 3 ⁄ 4 by 7 1 ⁄ 8 inches ( 12 by 18 . 1 cm) Perhaps hoping to be as good at bird hunting as he was as fishing, Karl takes aim and shoots at the birds with a pistol in each hand. The artist appears to watch the event from the safety of his floating studio. This drawing was not made into an etching for the published album of prints.
