Following on from the Cullercoats painting by Robert Jobling, I am posting another one of his paintings, this one is of fisher girls awaiting the return of the fishing boats.

This was painted further along from the watch house which appears in the distance in yesterday's painting.

Winslow Homer - Two Figures by the Sea, 1882, oil on canvas

Cullercoats is a fishing village of North East England. Wives and daughters of the fishermen gathered bait, mussels, and limpets. "The Cullercoats fishwife, with her cheerful weather-bronzed face, her short jacket and ample skirts of blue flannel, and her heavily laden "creel" of fish is not only appreciated by the brotherhood of brush and pencil, but is one of the notable sights of the district"   --Jean F.Terry, 1913
