Fishing fleet moored at a quay side with 2 fishermen unloading the catch A fine monochromatic wash painting of fishing boats. The artist has used a brush with Indian ink to draw the scene and then added the wash to give substance and shadowing. The painting has lots of atmosphere and the reflections on the water are particularly lovely. This work has been stored in a portfolio for over 50 years and we are confident that the colours portrayed are those which the artist painted
