“Men Fishing” is an oil on canvas painting created by Raoul Dufy in 1907. This work, representative of the Post-Impressionism movement, measures 59.7 x 73 cm and falls under the genre painting category.
In the artwork, a group of fishermen are depicted along a pier, engaging in their activity by the sea. The scene portrays various individuals, some engrossed in fishing and others leisurely walking along the pier. The use of bright, somewhat pastel-like colors and swift, expressive brushstrokes captures the liveliness and dynamism of the scene. The composition is balanced, with figures scattered throughout the foreground and background, adding depth and perspective to the tranquil yet bustling scenery. The horizon line separates the calm, textured sea from the slightly overcast sky, emphasizing the expanse of the coastal setting.
