The image shows a woman and a man in a fishing harbor. The woman is on the left, holding a large net or basket in her left hand and a fish in her right hand. She has a bun hairstyle and is wearing overalls, gloves, and old-fashioned shoes. The man on the right is hunched over a table, sorting fish. He is wearing a cap, an apron, and sturdy boots. Seagulls are flying and resting around them. There is a barrel nearby filled with nets or fish, and the ground has scattered fish heads. In the background are cliffs, the sea, and docked boats.
