The Centipede
George Louis Palmella Busson du Maurier 1834 - 1896
Summary
A river meandering through countryside with an impossibly long rowing boat on it. The rowing team have their backs to the viewer and the boat follows the bends in the river into the distance. At the near end of the boat a young man is using ropes to steer the rudder; he is sitting facing the viewer with his back to the rowers. There is a man with a fishing rod on the bank to the left.
