Daubigny appears on the right and Karl seems to be the figure lying on
his stomach on the left. The identity of the middle figure is not clear.
The Louvre drawing of this subject bears the inscription “How well we
are since Lavoignat has left.” Hippolyte Lavoignat (
1813
–
1896
) made
many wood engravings after Daubigny’s illustrations.
