About the piece
Painted in 1905 by Karl Behm, this oil on canvas depicts two fishermen engaged in a close conversation on a sunlit quay. A small dog sits faithfully in the foreground, while the background is filled with the towering masts of sailing vessels and the smoke of distant steamers, capturing the atmosphere of an early 20th-century port.
