Fishing Boats with Hucksters Bargaining for Fish

J. M. W. Turner · 1837–38 · Oil on canvas

Fishing Boats with Hucksters Bargaining for Fish is an 1838 landscape painting by the British artist J. M. W. Turner. A seascape, it shows the crew of a fishing boat engaging in business with a huckster in a smaller boat nearby. In the distance a steam ship can be seen. Stylistically it reflects Turner's long-standing interest in seventeenth century Dutch seascapes, even as he was becoming more experimental and expressive in his own work.
