Winslow Homer - Fishergirls coiling tackle; Fisherman's Daughters, 1881, watercolour on paper
Cullercoats is a fishing village of North East England. Wives and daughters of the fishermen gathered bait, mussels, and limpets. "The Cullercoats fishwife, with her cheerful weather-bronzed face, her short jacket and ample skirts of blue flannel, and her heavily laden "creel" of fish is not only appreciated by the brotherhood of brush and pencil, but is one of the notable sights of the district" --Jean F.Terry, 1913
