Notes This is a fine example of Henry Scott Tuke's mature watercolour painting. Set on a beach near Swanpool, Falmouth, where the artist lived, it features two local youths paid as models baiting a fishing line. This subject of either fishermen bringing in their catch or preparing to go out was a favourite one for Tuke. His earliest depictions of this subject were painted at the beginning of the First World War. Fishing was an activity Tuke participated in many times, especially during the early years of the war, when he went out fishing to feed himself and his neighbours to supplement their rations. Listed in Tuke's register of paintings R983, this watercolour is very similar to The Morning Catch (R984) also shown at the Royal Watercolour Society in the Winter of 1922 (no. 5).
