"Stirring the Pot" is a pen-and-ink drawing by Charles François Daubigny, created in 1862 and housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It depicts two figures, likely fishermen, in a casual, almost impressionistic style. Daubigny, known for his landscapes and river scenes, showcases his talent for capturing everyday moments with a focus on natural light and atmospheric effects. This intimate drawing, executed with loose, expressive lines, exemplifies Daubigny's mastery of the medium and his ability to convey a sense of movement and energy.
