About the piece

Painted in 1917 by Bernhard Sickert, this serene landscape captures a quiet moment at a fishmarket. The composition features a vast, soft blue sky reflecting in the calm river water, creating a sense of morning mist or late afternoon haze that beautifully complements the earthy tones of the waterfront buildings and resting boats.
