Fisherman at Saint Ives

Anders Zorn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures, a man and a woman, standing close together behind a stone parapet. In the background, there is a townscape with buildings and a river extending into the distance. A large round light or sun is above the horizon. The art style features dense cross-hatching creating texture and depth. The color scheme is sepia. A gas lamp post is on the right, aligned vertically with the woman.
