Hauling Nets
1930

A black and white etching depicting five fishermen hauling a large net on a flat surface. The fishermen are wearing hats and boots, and their bodies are angled to show the effort of pulling the heavy net. The style is expressive with strong, dark lines emphasizing the movement and the physical strain of the task. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
