content: A weary traveler collapsed upon a pile of heavy luggage represents some of the rigors of travel experienced by Whistler and Delannoy as they spent their wanderlust. This drawing might have been executed before the two artists reached Cologne, for at that point they left their knapsack with their landlord as security until money could be sent from Paris to pay the hotel bill.
