The Young Fishers is a 1888 oil by William McTaggart, a Impressionism work, depicting Ireland, held at National Galleries Scotland.
In this painting, we see three children in a small boat on the water. The boat is in the foreground, and the children are looking down, possibly at something in the water. The background is a hilly landscape with a cloudy sky. The children are dressed in old-fashioned clothing, and the boat looks like it's been hand-painted. The colors used are mostly earthy tones, with some blues and greens to represent the water and sky. The overall mood of the painting is calm and peaceful.
