Waiting for Herring, St. Ives

EDITORS COMMENTS
(circa 1918) This evocative oil painting captures the essence of patience and tradition in the quaint fishing village of St. Ives, Cornwall. The scene depicts a man, dressed in a thick, woolen coat and hat, seated comfortably in the back of a weathered green cart. Drawn by a sturdy horse, the cart waits at the water's edge, as the man anticipates the arrival of the herring shoals. The vibrant colors of the painting bring the coastal scene to life. The deep blues and greens of the sea and sky contrast beautifully with the warm tones of the man's clothing and the cart. The intricate details of the man's face, the horse's ears, and the ripples on the water's surface add depth and texture to the image. The painting is a poignant reminder of the simple, yet essential, way of life in St. Ives during this era. The village's economy relied heavily on the fishing industry, and the arrival of the herring shoals was a crucial event for the community. The man's calm demeanor and the horse's steady pace reflect the enduring connection between the people of St. Ives and the natural world. This painting is believed to have been created around 1918 and is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. It is not to be confused with the Harry Fidler company, which also has a painting with a similar title. This exquisite artwork is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for the rich history and culture of St. Ives and the Cornwall region.
