This is a classic realistic genre oil painting *A Fish Sale on a Cornish Beach* by British painter Forbes Stanhope. It depicts the vivid scene of fishermen trading freshly caught fish on the wet beach after ebb tide in Cornwall. The foreground is scattered with various sea fishes, fishermen and fisherwomen are negotiating transactions, crowds gather on the shallow beach in the distance, and a fleet of fishing sailboats anchor on the sea. The work presents the real daily life of British coastal fishing villages in the 19th century, full of simple warm atmosphere.
