Om maleriet
Prawn Fishing is an 1828 genre painting by the British artist William Collins. It depicts a group of boys on a beach at low tide looking for prawns. It was inspired by a visit he had made to the Isle of Wight in 1827. Much of the artist's work during the period was a romantic, idealised view of children playing of at work. An engraving was produced based on the picture by James Tibbits Willmore.
