Verlag: Art Journal

Beschreibung

The print titled "THE PRAWN FISHERS" is a steel engraving created in 1849, based on a work by the British artist W. Collins. The engraving was executed by WILLMORE and captures a serene coastal scene featuring three individuals engaged in prawn fishing. The foreground depicts a rocky shoreline where two figures, one adult and one child, are crouched down, likely examining their catch, while a third figure stands nearby holding a fishing net attached to a long pole. The background showcases a tranquil sea with distant cliffs and a few sailing ships, adding depth and context to the maritime setting. The print includes the inscription "THE PRAWN FISHERS" at the bottom center, with "W. COLLINS, R.A. PAINTER" and "ENGRAVED BY WILLMORE" noted on the left and right sides, respectively. W. Collins, a member of the Royal Academy, was known for his landscape and genre paintings, which often depicted rural and coastal life with a keen eye for detail and atmosphere. This engraving exemplifies the collaboration between painter and engraver, highlighting the everyday activities of coastal communities in the mid-19th century.Approx Image Size: 10 x 7 ins - Approx Overall Size With Borders : 13 1/2 x 9 1/2 ins CONDITION: FULL PAGE STEEL ENGRAVING.
