EDITORS COMMENTS
Fishwoman of 1813, by Ethel Parkinson (1902) This image, titled "Fishwoman of 1813," is a beautiful watercolor painting by English artist Ethel Parkinson, created in 1902. The artwork depicts a fishwoman, her face etched with the wisdom and hardiness of a life spent by the sea, gracefully carrying a large basket of freshly caught fish atop her head. The fishwoman's attire, consisting of a simple, yet practical, blue dress and an apron adorned with intricate white lace, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The Fishwoman of 1813 is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the women who made their living from the sea during the early 19th century. This occupation was not only a source of income but also a vital part of the community, as fish was a staple food for many families. Ethel Parkinson masterfully captures the essence of this traditional scene, her delicate brushstrokes bringing the fishwoman and her surroundings to life. The vibrant colors of the fish, the rich blues of the water, and the intricate details of the fishwoman's clothing all contribute to the painting's captivating allure. This artwork is a precious piece of historical documentation, offering a glimpse into the lives of the women who played a crucial role in the fishing industry during the early 19th century. The Fishwoman of 1813 is not only a beautiful work of art but also a reminder of the strength, determination, and adaptability of those who lived and worked by the sea.
