This painting shows two women and a child sitting on a rocky beach, looking out to sea. The woman on the left wears a white dress and headscarf, while the woman on the right is dressed in dark clothing. A child sits beside her. The women appear to be sorting through a fishing net. In the background, the sea stretches out to the horizon, with a few figures visible in the distance. The sky above is cloudy and grey. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this painting.
William Collins (8 September 1788, London – 17 February 1847, London) was an English landscape and genre painter.
