The Little Boat

First non-Scouting post! The connexion, I suppose, is that I found this pic on a blog with the address http://pierrejoubert.blogspot.com/ - but going by the name 'Nona'. Actually it's mostly leftwing conspiracy theories and wackiness, but 'Pierre Joubert' was the name of the great French "Scout artist" of the last century. He was (though he may be still alive, for all I know) somewhere between Georges Remi (of Tintin, and so on) and Norman Rockwell.

This painting is The Little Boat, by the Finnish artist Albert Edelfelt.
