Fisherman with Nets
1923

Two fishermen in rubber boots and work clothes are pulling a large fishing net on a sandy shore. The man on the left wears a red sweater and a cap, while the man on the right is in a blue shirt with suspenders. In the background, there's a simple house next to the sea, with a sailboat visible on the water under a sky with light clouds. The scene is depicted in a watercolor painting with expressive brushstrokes and a sense of movement.
