Crab Fishing (by Winslow Homer) Tissue Paper

This design features a watercolor painting by the American artist Winslow Homer (1836–1910), who is notable for his marine and landscape artworks. It shows a family from a traditional Maine fishing community in a rowing boat on the sea. The father is collected crabs that have been fished in a net. The mother and daughters are seated at the other end of the boat, admiring the view of the water and waves. The scene exemplifies Winslow Homer's ability to capture the inspiring spirit of everyday life as he celebrates ordinary people engaged in simple yet meaningful activities such as fishing for crabs. The original art was painted in 1883.
