The Young Fisher Boy is a 1750 watercolor by Cristall, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a boy in a straw hat and loose clothes standing on a rocky shore. He’s holding a rope tied to a small boat beached nearby. Around him, other people sit on rocks, and the ground is scattered with shells and fishing tools. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a rough, sketchy feel. The colors are earthy—browns, tans, and muted blues—making the boy’s hat and clothes stand out slightly. Look up *Cristall* next to see more of their work.
