Fishing nets. Shiryaevo. 1870

This pencil sketch titled "Fishing nets. Shiryaevo." was created in 1870 by Russian painter Ilya Repin. The drawing captures a quiet scene of fishing nets drying on the shore of a lake or river, with the distant shoreline and a few trees visible. The light and airy quality of the sketch, with its emphasis on the delicate lines of the nets and the water's surface, is typical of Repin's early work.
