Fangsten bæres i land 1903

"Fangsten bæres i land" ("The Catch is Carried Ashore") is an etching by Danish artist Carl Locher (1851-1915), depicting the moment fishermen bring their catch onto the shore after a successful fishing trip. The work, created in 1903, is a fine example of Locher's signature style, featuring realistic detail and a focus on the lives of working-class people. The etching showcases a sense of quiet determination as the fishermen navigate the shallows, illustrating the daily labor of those who rely on the sea for their livelihood. The piece, currently located in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, stands as a testament to Locher's keen observation of his surroundings and the human condition.
