Boten met haringvissers op zee 1842

"Boten met haringvissers op zee" (Boats with herring fishermen at sea) is a lithograph by the Dutch artist Michel Mourot, created in 1842. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a group of herring fishermen in a boat on the open sea. The scene is rendered in a realistic style, capturing the harsh conditions of their work and the vastness of the ocean. This print reflects the popularity of maritime themes in 19th-century art, particularly in the Netherlands, where fishing was a major industry.
