1836
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Fishing Boats at Anchor is a 1836 by Eugène Isabey, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows three fishing boats anchored in calm water. The waves are drawn in quick, wavy lines, and the boats have tall masts with loose sails. One boat in the front is closer to shore, while the others sit farther back. The title says these are "fishing boats at anchor," so they’re resting after a day of work. The artist used simple lines and shading to show light and movement. Next, look up Romanticism to see how artists used emotion and nature in their work.
Eugène Louis Gabriel Isabey (French pronunciation: ; 22 July 1803 – 25 April 1886) was a French painter, lithographer and watercolorist in the Romantic style.
