"Tre unge damer køber friske fisk på Gammel Strand" (Three young ladies buying fresh fish on Gammel Strand) is a painting by Danish artist Paul Fischer. The work depicts a bustling scene of young women purchasing fresh fish from vendors at the Gammel Strand, a historic waterfront area in Copenhagen. Fischer, born in 1860 and active until 1934, captured the everyday life of Copenhagen, highlighting the market's activity and the people who frequented it. This painting exemplifies Fischer's skilled portrayal of realistic scenes and figures, providing a glimpse into daily life in early 20th-century Copenhagen.
