Resting
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a serene moment in the life of a male fisherman from the late 19th to early 20th century. Painted by Edwin Harris, this oil on canvas artwork showcases an intimate scene within a humble domestic setting. The tired fisherman is peacefully asleep, his weathered face illuminated by soft sunlight streaming through a window. In the background, we see two female figures - likely his wife and daughter - engaged in their daily activities. The young girl playfully tickles her mother's arm with a feather, bringing joy and laughter into their modest home. Meanwhile, the mother diligently mends fishing nets, highlighting the importance of teamwork and industry in sustaining their livelihoods. A sense of tranquility pervades this painting as we observe every detail: from the ramshackle interior to the delicate smoke rising from the fisherman's pipe. Harris masterfully captures not only physical rest but also emotional respite amidst challenging circumstances. This print invites us to reflect upon simpler times when hard work was met with moments of reprieve and familial bonds were cherished above all else. As we gaze at "Resting" we are transported back in time to witness an ordinary yet deeply meaningful slice of life for these resilient individuals who relied on each other for strength and support.
