Spearing

Henry Edward Detmold 1854 - 1924

Summary

A scene of a rowing boat on a very calm sea, surrounded by seagulls, with some sailing boats in the background. There is a man in the bow of the boat holding a spear, looking down into the water, whilst two children are seated in the stern, one leaning over the side of the boat staring into the water. The subject matter is framed by the magnificent colours of the sunlight, sky and sea.
