Beauties Fishing

Comments - Attractive scene of two beauties and a young boy fishing from a boat as the sun sets, flames rising from a fire basket hands over the side of the vessel. The standing woman prepares to pull in a large net as she gestures to her companion, who kneels on the deck holding a shallow basket. The child smiles gleefully as he leans over a deeper basket. An arched bridge connects to wooded islands at left, and other fishing boats can be seen in the distance on the gently undulating water. A charming Edo era design.
