About this work

This painting depicts a scene of three women gathered around a basket of fish. The woman on the left, wearing a hat and a white dress with a blue shawl, is holding a fish and appears to be in conversation with the other two women. The woman in the middle is wearing a hat and a blue dress, while the woman on the right is wearing a white dress and a blue apron. The background of the painting features a building with a window and a door. The painting is rendered in a color stipple engraving style, which gives it a soft and delicate appearance. The use of pastel colors adds to the overall sense of calm and serenity in the scene. For more information on this style of engraving, look up the technique of cross-hatching.
