Description: | Signed: yes Description: Following the tenets of the Hague School, the painting depicts simple Dutch fisher-folk-folk going about their daily lives. The artist uses a low vantage point to offset a vast flat plane of the sea bed at low tide, with still pools formed by the retreating tide. The sea forms a strip below a blue sky flecked with clouds. In the middle ground, masts and sails alleviate the horizontality. A woman walks towards the spectator, followed by others carrying heavy baskets. In the shadowy foreground, two women lift baskets up to the man on a horse-drawn cart. | Subjects: | everyday life; figure; marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Haier, Joseph (German artist, 1816-1891) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8399... | Go to resource |
