A Newhaven Fisherwoman

David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman posing confidently, with her left hand on her hip and her right hand against a stone wall. Her face is partially shadowed, but her hair is neatly pulled back. She wears a knee-length striped skirt and a light-colored blouse with voluminous sleeves. A large woven basket is beside her. The background is a textured stone wall.
