This genre painting depicts a scene of fishing with nets. Such details as the water birds gathering for an attack on a shoal of fish being caught, the large ceramic jars laden on the fishing boat for trading, and the pot installed in the middle of the boat help create a more realistic depiction of a busy fishing ground.
