Etaples Fisher Folk

Etaples Fisher Folk, a 1923 painting by Henry Ossawa Tanner, depicts two figures seated at a small, round table in a dimly lit interior. 



The painting style is characterized by dark, muted tones, with the light source seemingly emanating from a lantern on the floor near the figures' feet. The figures themselves are rendered with a somewhat impressionistic style, their features not sharply defined but suggested through the use of color and shadow. 



One figure, appearing to be a woman, sits slightly hunched over, seemingly holding a cup or bowl. The other figure, possibly a man, is dressed in darker clothing and appears to be holding or manipulating something near the lantern. The background is dark and indistinct, suggesting a simple, perhaps rustic interior. The overall mood is somber and intimate. The painting's dimensions are not provided in the metadata.
