Vissers aan de oever van een rivier 1892

"Vissers aan de oever van een rivier" (Fishermen on the bank of a river) is a photograph by Dutch artist Henry Pauw van Wieldrecht, dated 1892. This photo, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a serene scene of fishermen hauling a boat ashore on a river bank, conveying the quietude of daily life in the late 19th century. The soft lighting and the figures' silhouetted forms add to the photo's contemplative mood, typical of the Pictorialist style, which emerged during this period. The image's realism and attention to detail showcase Van Wieldrecht's skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the beauty of everyday moments.
