DescriptionThis image is a print depicting two male figures standing on a boat that is docked on the shore in the foreground. One of the figures is holding what appears to be a small ladder, and the other is at the front of the boat. Both figures are looking over their shoulders towards the left support. Behind them is a tree and a bridge that extends from the left side of the work to the right. On the bridge is an army of figures, advancing towards the two figures. Not a lot of detail can be seen on the background figures, and they are all dark colors.On View
