Title
Fishermen
Description
Composition in black and white. Dashed quickly. Study of four figures and four fish with light strokes in different directions in the background. The figures have no facial features or defined anatomy and are arranged in one plane. From the left to the right: lean figure and high with open arms and raised and legs apart. It seems to hold a network, suggested by lines that intersect behind its body; small figure, head down, as if diving, holding in each hand one end of something that looks like a fish; another figure, represented with the long on the right leg, torso lying to the left and the on the left leg only hinted; the figure of the extreme on the right is in profile to the left, leaning forward, holding a fish, with wide-brimmed hat on his head. At the upper right corner of the composition, three fish - one major and two minors - facing left.
