Fisherwomen
1928

A watercolor painting depicting three women and a child on a seaside landscape. The woman on the left, wearing a blue cloak, faces the sea with two sailing ships in the distance. The central woman, wrapped in a brown shawl, looks directly at the viewer, while the woman on the right, dressed in a green dress with a red sash, stands near a wooden house with a window showing a plate of cookies. A small child in blue, holding a bouquet, stands between the women, looking up at the central figure. The scene conveys a sense of daily life by the sea with a touch of nostalgia.
