And They Still Say Fish is Expensive!

Painted during the ten year period of Social Realism genre painting by Joaquín Sorolla. The turn of the century would see Sorolla's artistic direction change to a much lighter style. Inside a boat two elderly fishermen with a serious and worried face look after a younger one lying on the ground after having an accident. From his torso hangs a protective medal against the misfortunes of the sea like the one that just happened to him. Around the characters there are various fishing tools and even some fish caught.
