A Fisher Girl 1874

"A Fisher Girl" (1874) by Ilya Repin depicts a young girl, likely a peasant, standing in a field. Her worn clothes and the fishing net she holds suggest a life of hard labor. The girl's melancholic expression adds a touch of realism and social commentary to the work, highlighting the plight of the working class in 19th-century Russia. Repin's attention to detail in capturing the girl's ragged clothing and weary posture, combined with the simple, yet evocative background, creates a powerful and poignant image. This painting is now on display at the Irkutsk Regional Museum of Fine Arts (Sukachev Museum) in Irkutsk, Russia.
