Hauling the Gill Net by Frederic Remington captures the moment of a fisherman hauling in a gill net from the sea. Remington’s attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of figures and movement, brings the scene to life. The action is dynamic, with the fishermen working together as a team against the backdrop of a vast, open ocean. The painting conveys a sense of strength and determination, focusing on the quiet yet intense labor of those who live off the sea. Remington’s mastery of the American West is expanded here to encompass the sea.
