About the piece

Painted around 1790 by William Hodges, this work exemplifies the 18th-century British interest in the picturesque. The composition masterfully balances the delicate activity of fishermen with the monumental presence of rugged cliffs, all bathed in the soft, golden light of a setting sun that reflects across the still water.
