Old Fish Houses c. 19th century

"Old Fish Houses" is an etching by American artist Stephen Parrish (1846-1938), a printmaker and illustrator known for his depictions of rural and coastal scenes. This piece, created in the late 19th century, showcases Parrish's mastery of the etching technique, creating a detailed and atmospheric depiction of a small harbor scene with weathered wooden structures and a quiet, contemplative mood. The Minneapolis Institute of Art holds this etching, capturing the essence of a bygone era of coastal life.
