Brief Description
Here you can see Frances Hodgkins experimenting with a combination of styles relating to figuration. The fisherman’s garments and tools laid beside him on his bench are detailed, contrasting with the almost abstract mass of white in the foreground. The
depth of the space beyond, where shadowy shapes suggest the clutter of the workroom, is mediated by the fisherman’s squat body, which serves as a fulcrum for space and light.
