“Shrimpers” is a woodcut print by French artist Auguste-Louis Lepère (1849-1918) created in 1895. It depicts a group of shrimpers in their boat, pulling in their nets. The work is a fine example of Lepère's mastery of the woodcut technique, with strong black lines and subtle color variations. The print is in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago and is a captivating example of the artist's focus on daily life and the working class.
