Two Fishermen in a Dory
This is a wide oil painting, about four feet across, showing two fishermen at work in a small open rowboat called a dory. The boat sits on heaving water, and the sea fills most of the picture. One figure hauls in a net full of herring, a small silver fish, and the fish glisten as they spill in. The other figure, possibly a boy, unloads the catch. Far off on the horizon you can make out larger sailing ships called schooners. The two men seem very much alone.

Ask in your own words. The answer comes from what the museum has written about the work, and says so when that does not hold it.
