1 British Fine Newlyn Art 19th Century Marine Sporting Oil Painting Cornish Fisherman Releasing His Hooked Fish Catch.
Subject sporting marine portrait of a Cornish Fisherman in half length profile facing towards the viewer. He is in his fishing boat off the Cornish coast in rough choppy rolling seas, whilst calmly taking the large curved fishing hook out of the large mouth of the fish that he is holding. He is wearing his traditional hat and wearing his thick best sea jumper which keeps him warm. He has a leather strap over his shoulder. Also having a big beard with Cornish moustache, he is looking down at the fish carefully about to remove the hook. he has a red scarf around his neck. He has a big red tipped nose and reddish cheeks, which is a sign he obviously enjoys his tipple of rum. You can see his round wicker fishing storage basket behind him, further back with views of the rough seas and seagulls flying overhead, in the far distance a sail is on the horizon of another small sailing boat. Also on the deck of his boat you can see other caught fish laying on the floor. Overhead overcast grey sky above.
