Fishermen
1911

Impressionist-style painting depicting three fishermen working on a small boat, with one man standing at the bow pulling in a net, while the other two are seated and handling the oars. The sea is rendered in textured strokes of blue and green, and hints of a distant shoreline with structures are visible in the background. The artist's signature, "LAWSON," is in the lower right corner.
