Fisherman's Daughter 1910

"Fisherman's Daughter" (1910) by Robert Henri is a realist portrait painting. Henri, a prominent figure in the Ashcan School movement, focused on depicting everyday life and the working class. The portrait captures the innocence and joy of a young girl, perhaps a daughter of a fisherman, against a dark background. The painting is characterized by its loose brushstrokes, which give a sense of movement and spontaneity to the image. Henri was known for his use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and realism.
