From the collection of Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp
Fisherman's Wife is a 1920 gouache by Constant Permeke, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
This painting depicts a woman, likely a fisherman's wife, sitting in a chair. She is dressed in dark attire and has her hair pulled back. The background is a muted, earthy tone, with hints of boats and water, suggesting a seaside setting. The woman's expression is somber, and her posture conveys a sense of quiet contemplation. The artist's use of gouache paint creates a textured, almost rough quality to the image. The painting's subdued colors and introspective mood invite the viewer to reflect on the subject's life and circumstances. To learn more about the artist's work, look up Constant Permeke.
