A great example of one of William Bradford’s renowned arctic scenes, this painting is a wonderful study of light and color and a great piece of American luminous painting. Housed in its original period gilt frame.
In the foreground of this painting four crewmen are rowing while the fifth one is setting the nets.
The seas surface is calm with reflections of light and color throughout displaying the artists talents. Pictured between two icebergs are two fishing boats coming in, while two men wait by the warehouse.
It's easy to see why the artist reached such high recognition.
