The Fisherman's Family
A seaside scene in muted blues, lavender and ochre shows a fisherman lifting a drying net beside a seated woman in a white drape, who steadies a naked toddler on the stones. An elderly man in a violet cloak rests against a boat in the foreground, with pebbles and the calm sea behind.
