The Net Menders by Auguste Brouet: A black and white sketch depicting a group of people, mostly men and a few children, gathered on a dock or pier, surrounded by fishing boats with tall masts; some of the people are seated or standing while others are working on nets; a large cylindrical object sits on the left; a tower-like structure is visible in the background; the scene shows a mix of detailed and sketchy lines; the artist's signature is in the bottom right corner.
