'Épisode d'un naufrage'
1857-58Albumen print? | RCIN 2160793
Photograph of a drawing by Delaroche, created around 1848. The work depicts a large wave, the crest of which is dominated by a capsized boat. Three men surround the vessel in an attempt to stay afloat. Additional waves are crashing on the shore in the background, from where an alarmed crowd is watching the shipwreck scene. A lighthouse can be seen in the far right.
