Plougastel: Shrimp Fisherwomen is a 1871 oil by Eugène Boudin, a Impressionism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a group of women in long dresses and headscarves, gathered on a beach. They are standing near a wall of rocks, with a body of water visible in the background. The women appear to be engaged in some activity, possibly related to fishing. The scene is depicted in muted colors, with the women's clothing and the rocks forming a subtle contrast to the more vibrant hues of the water and sky. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet industry, with the women focused on their task.
