Gobbling a Meal 1861

"Gobbling a Meal" is a charming etching by French artist Charles François Daubigny, created in 1861. Depicting a scene of two fishermen enjoying a meal on their boat, Daubigny captures a moment of everyday life. The detail of the steaming food, the surrounding landscape, and the fish in the water adds to the realism of the artwork. The etching is a fine example of Daubigny's interest in depicting the natural world and the simple pleasures of life.
