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.
Drawing, Musée du Louvre
