Description
Composition in ochre, blue, white and earthy. Smooth and rough texture. Group of people on a beach in the act of pulling the trawler. The group is queued up in the center of two to two and facing right forming a light diagonally from front to back and on the left to the right. The first four men in line are back, and the two foreground are a little apart from the rest. The network being pulled passes between the body of the latter two figures and falls to the ground forming a curve to the right. In the foreground, to the right, a front fisherman lowered, with the head tilted forward, using wide-brimmed hat and blue clothes and safe with both hands a fish leaving the network end. The group and this fisherman, some loose fish and on the left isolated. In the background, on the right and front to the group, two standing figures, baskets with the head. To the left of the group, two men facing each other: the on the left holding what appears to be a big fish and the on the right to be suggesting a basket. In the third level, waves crashing on the beach representation.
