Seiners 1917

"Seiners" is a 1917 etching by Philip Little, a prominent American artist known for his landscapes and maritime scenes. This particular work depicts two fishing boats, called seiners, with their crews on a body of water. The boats are rendered in a detailed and realistic style, while the surrounding landscape is suggested through a series of parallel lines that create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The etching is a testament to Little's mastery of the medium and his keen eye for detail. This artwork, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the world of commercial fishing.
