Fisherman Standing in a Boat c. 1630 - 1640

Stefano della Bella's "Fisherman Standing in a Boat" is a pen and brown ink drawing that was created around 1630-1640. The drawing depicts a fisherman standing in a small boat. He is holding a fishing net in his right hand and looking to the left. The drawing's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of realism and movement. Della Bella was a highly skilled draftsman and his work is known for its precise observation of the human figure. The drawing is a fine example of Della Bella's mastery of pen and ink, and it offers a glimpse into the daily life of a fisherman in 17th century Italy.
