If
you're interested in purchasing this intriguing scene of two stylish boatmen,
my attention is particularly drawn to the striped slip-on shoes worn by the
reclining man. Interestingly, these shoes resemble an upscale version of the
traditional workman's sabotage footwear, historically used to disrupt machinery
by being thrown into gears. If you'd like to acquire this print, please contact

PayPal invoice to make the payment process simple and secure.
