About this work

This painting shows a group of fishermen standing in a rocky gorge. The men are dressed in simple clothing and are surrounded by large boulders and trees. The artist has used oil paint to create a sense of depth and texture in the scene. In the foreground, the fishermen are shown in various poses, some of them looking out at the viewer while others are focused on their work. The background of the painting is dominated by the rocky gorge, which stretches up to the top of the canvas. The painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
