As in 'The Fugitives', these works show a procession of figures, some walking, others mounted, some carrying baggage, moving diagonally back into space, disappearing over the horizon of a bleak, bare mountain landscape. Three genuine oil versions are known to exist. Our work, with its muddy, bituminous picture surface and its lack of individual characterization of the figures, and of colour, is probably not by Daumier.
