Here is likely crab fishing depicted in foreground. Catching crabs is still fraught with danger, so this is reflected in the cost of this delicacy. Centuries ago, this delicacy was available only to the elite. The painter very realistically conveyed the atmosphere of an agitated sea with a strong wind. The colors and atmosphere of the painting are kept in the best traditions of the European school (Scottish or British) of painting at the beginning of the 19th century. Unsigned oil work in every brushstroke shows high grade of workmanship of professional painter. There is large label on the the reverse indistinctly inscribed with ink.
