Fishing scene depicting three men in a small boat, two standing at each end of the boat keeping it steady, the third pulling in the catch with a small net. Against the bright sea and sky behind them, the small boat appears to be in dark shadow. A row of large boats with tall sails can be seen in the background to the right. Sea gulls fly in across the water surface to the right.
