A man wearing a swimming cap and young boy in swimming trunks engage in a tug-of-war. On the left, the man grips the edge of the pool and uses his left arm to pull on the boy's right arm. The boy screams and resists by grapping a post in front of him. In the background, a man wrapped in a towel and a gentleman wearing a suit and top hat pass the changing rooms, looking on. Caricature; Paris; leisure; swimming.
